Education Generation (the new online non-profit to help kids in developing countries get educated) has a few students that need funding by Dec 20th. Just click here or on 'view students' from the home page...
John and I decided we could afford $20 each payday. Today we helped fund Josephine who "is 18 years old and is a student at Humwend Secondary School, Ukwala, Kenya. She lives at home with her parents and her two brothers and three sisters. Her favourite subjects in school are biology and chemistry."
"At home she is responsible for fetching water from the river, gardening, as well as taking care of his siblings. At school Josphine's responsibilities are the drama club, the debate club as well as working hard towards her studies. After high school she would like to continue her studies to become a doctor. Josephine is inspired by her teachers at Humwend, and her role model is her uncle. If she could improve her community, she would change the state of poverty in which people live in."
These are all promising students from Kenya. You can help them for $20. And helping a student ends up helping the family which helps the village and the towns and ultimately, the entire country. You would be supporting the brightest and most ambitious students in a country where education is only for those with the money.
