The Power of Education
You Can’t Change the Whole World—But You Can Keep One Child in School
That Feeling You Can’t Shake? It’s Your Heart Wanting to Help
Maybe it hits you while you're packing school lunches. Or during the quiet moments when you reflect on the life you've built—the comfort, the choices, the steady rhythm of your days.
And then it creeps in: a tug on your heart.
You know you’ve been blessed in many ways. Not without hardship, of course. But you’ve had opportunities. You went to school. You could dream big. You had books, teachers, notebooks, and pencils. You had a desk with your name on it and someone who believed in your potential.
But what if you hadn’t?
That question—what if I didn’t have what I needed to learn, grow, and build a future—is the doorway to compassion. And that compassion is what’s nudging you now. It’s what brought you here.
You want to give back. You’re just not sure how.
The Unseen Privilege of Education—and Why It Matters
In Kenya, the opportunity to attend school is not a guarantee. Children are not held back by laziness or lack of ambition. They’re held back by a price tag.
$50.
That’s the average cost for one child to attend school for a full term.
And when families can’t afford it—when school fees go unpaid—those children are sent home. Not suspended. Not given a payment plan. Simply turned away.
Imagine a 13-year-old girl being told to pack up her bag and leave, not because she didn’t try, but because her family couldn’t afford her fees.
Now imagine what happens next.
Early marriage. Labor. Loss of hope. A dream extinguished before it ever had a chance.
It’s not dramatic. It’s reality. And it happens every single day.
What Happens When a Child Can’t Pay School Fees?
The ripple effect is heartbreaking.
A boy who wants to be a doctor ends up herding livestock instead.
A girl who was the top in her class becomes a mother before she becomes a graduate.
Parents feel the weight of failure, even when they’re doing all they can to survive.
But the opposite is also true.
When one child stays in school, everything can change.
Confidence grows.
Literacy improves.
Communities shift.
Futures are rewritten.
Education is more than a classroom. It’s dignity. It’s freedom. It’s hope wrapped in a school uniform.
The Power of a $50 Gift: More Than Just a Term of School
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the needs of the world. But this—this is simple.
$50 = One Child + One Term of School
Not an abstract idea. Not a vague promise. A real child. A real term. A real impact.
And if you want to do more:
$150 covers an entire year.
$300 helps two children stay in school.
Monthly giving means continuous support—and continuous transformation.
This isn’t just about education. It’s about creating a future where poverty doesn’t have the final say.
This Is What Real Impact Looks Like
When you donate to the School Fees Program through 100 Humanitarians International, here’s what happens:
We work directly with local leaders who identify families in need.
Children who were sent home are brought back to school.
Parents receive support and dignity—not shame.
You receive updates so you know exactly what your donation is doing.
It’s not charity for charity’s sake. It’s transformation with accountability. You’re not just giving. You’re partnering with families who are working hard to build a better future for their children.
You Don’t Have to Do Everything—Just Something
You don’t have to be wealthy. You don’t have to write a massive check or start your own foundation. You don’t need to fly to Kenya or learn a new language.
You just need to care.
You need to be willing to say:
“I have something. And I can share it.”
Your $50 might not feel like much—but to a child in Kenya, it’s everything. It’s their uniform, their books, their classroom. It’s the thing standing between them and a completely different life.
Your Invitation to Change a Life Today
You’re not here by accident. That tug on your heart? It’s your invitation to act.
You can’t solve every problem. But you can make sure one child goes to school this term.
You can bring hope to a mother who just wants her child to have a chance.
You can become part of a story that stretches far beyond yourself.
“You don’t need millions to make a difference.
You just need a heart that’s willing to act.”
