CLICK to Donate to Empower Kenyan Kids in Bungoma,Kenya
This summer, the Bukokholo Primary School in Bungoma Kenya is hosting afterschool workshops for the children. The workshops will expose them to the issues within their community involving poaching and other harmful activities relating to the wildlife.
The kids have been researching the wildlife around them and have discovered that their government can be doing more to help. The technology we are providing is increasing their knowledge of their world around them and empowering them to speak up about issues that are important for their community.
