Funding Higher Education

This region of Kenya is bordered by Uganda and is populated by mainly Luhya people.

The commitment to help these HIV/Aids orphans, living in acute poverty and facing many other daily challenges brings much needed support.

It includes tuition fees, a school uniform, school resources, nutrition and basic healthcare.

Due to the daily hardships, secondary education is a rare opportunity for only a few of the 1.6 million orphans living in Kenya.

The motto painted on the African school building reads 'Strive To Excel'. What a great reminder for all of us in all things.

These young men are part of the future of Kenya. Funding higher educational assistance for them gives them the chance they deserve to succeed.

This History of Makhukuni Secondary African School

Founders Herb and Virginia Veith began their mission after visiting Kakamega, Kenya, in 1990. Their friend, who invited them, introduced them to some of the abandoned children he was trying to support and encourage on a daily basis. Being of little means himself, it was no easy task.

The following year, the Veith's returned after the death of their friend. They were determined to give the children of Kakamega a real Christmas.

They eventually rented an abandoned teacher's home, which enabled them to give 10 children an education and place to call home.

Later, the purchase of nearby land allowed their mission to expand, and with the help of donations they currently house 47 children, aged 4 to 18. The house is able to hold 80.

The Julia Project Foundation is proud to support one of these students each year.
