Part III response or note to any other line in Part III BackgroundCompassionate Social Care is the Kenya umbrella organization that 4KenyasKids is under. CSC does much more than just care for the education of the children. Many children lack the means to pursue an education, without the support of 4KenyasKids sponsors, many children would not attend school and achieve their dreams and future, creating a better life for many.A generation has been lost to HIV/AIDS in Kenya. Many children are orphans and are being raised by grandmothers or other family members; but many times the children have noone. Point of Grace has approximately 470 students which are boarding students, of these approximately 15% are total orphans and never leave the property, while others leave on holiday breaks. The school provides not only a quality education but food and medical care to those boarding students.When at all possible, we know that a child is best cared for by their family members, in those cases we offer assistance and support in teaching the elders how to maintain a lifestyle to support their families and help with providing proper homes.The population at POG has students from 15 different tribes including as far away as the Sudan border (Samburu tribe), the Masaai tribe from the Rift Valley and the city of Nairobi. There is a small portion of students that are fee paid students. These students also travel from farther away to obtain the amazing education that POG is known for.English is the spoken and taught language at POG as well as the native tongue of Kiswahili. The curriculum gives importance on building character as much as quality education.Prior to offering grades preschool to 12th, students would be sent to other area schools to get their higher education. Upon completion and passing the exam, Deaconess Lorna would make sure that they continue their education in technical training or university. Students remain under her watch and care until they are through school and self supportive.Without education and desire to have goals, life in Kenya can be very bleak. Through the work of CSC and 4KenyasKids, these children all have a much better chance at a future.What started as one classroom, it now has a campus of 12 dorms, each housing about 40 students, a three floor primary school and a three story high school. In 2019, a dining hall and kitchen were completed at the school campus. Groundbreaking for the high school campus was held on March 15, 2019 and construction began in mid-2020. This is a much needed facility as our school grows. This building has a computer and science lab as well as being able to separate the older students from the younger students.Shipping containers that have been sent with supplies from Christian organizations have been converted to teacher areas and storage units. A container that arrived in April of 2020 was used in conjunction with another container on site to be made into our new Pre-School area which opened in January of 2020. We are fortunate to have the support of different Lutheran Churches from the U.S. that send funds as well as teams to help with our construction and care of the facilities. In the past, they have helped with tiling, painting, and building. Since 2017, mission teams have built 3 greenhouses, a cow shed, a chicken coop and 19 homes. Without the support of these teams, the churches that support us and the families that provide support for our children, we would not be able to continue the ministry at Point of Grace.Point of Grace has water supplied from three different sources: well water, rain water and water from Lake Victoria. All water used is put through one of several filter systems to make it clean to use. Because of the generosity of many people through several water filtration companies, we are able to supply clean water to our school as well as to the community. We are continually working on bringing more and more clean water to our community. In March 2020, a kiosk was built for distribution of clean water to the community.Malaria is our current health concern because we are close to the shores of Lake Victoria and surrounded many times of the year by water hyacinth; which are breeding nests for mosquitos. In November of 2019, we opened a clinic on the property to care for our students and the local community.We are proud of the administration and staff at Point of Grace, which are helping young people in Kenya become upstanding and responsible Christian citizens of Kenya.
