Newsletter – April 2024
Together with Soroi Larsens Camp and Soroi Samburu Lodge, CWC launched for the first time a secondary school scholarship in Samburu. The sponsorship involved 10 schools in Archer’s post and fully covers the tuition fees, from form 1 to form 4, of the top student from the zone. For the 2023 KCPE, the top student scored 387 marks and was from Lorubae Primary School who got admitted to Meru School. In addition to the organization paying the tuition fees, it went the extra mile of helping the parents do the student’s school shopping by catering 75% of the shopping budget, something out of the sponsorship provision.
