Gansu, China
Lack of education in the rural villages lead to systemic poverty. The lack of education is due to the fact that teachers do not have adequate training to provide high quality education to its students. The program breaks the cycle. In providing teachers with adequate training, it can help decrease the gap in education between the cities and rural villages. Plan: 1. Every year from March to May, September to November, with the help of Givology and local partners, we will send passionate, local village education teachers to designated teaching locations. The focus is on organized training for English and Art teachers, two curriculums that lack support and exploration. 2. The purpose of the training is to develop and increase the teacher’s professional and teaching abilities and also encourage interactions among the teachers. 3. By starting to provide training to the local teachers, they can share their skills and talents with other fellow teachers; the goals and objectives of the pr...
Benson Nderitu

Kinangop, Kenya
Benson and his older brother were abandoned in 2006. Locked in an apartment for several days, the boys were discovered by concerned neighbors who found them alone. Benson's brother has died from the neglect. Benson was taken by Kamau, his 84-year-old neighbor, to the hospital for treatment. When it was time for Benson to be released, there was no one but Kamau to take him in. Kamau cared for Benson to the best of his ability for well over a year. But when Benson came to FKKCC, he was severely malnourished and needed immediate medical attention, as he is HIV positive. After just a few months at FKKCC Benson was already making huge strides; he gained weight thanks to the ARV medication, he jumped right into his school work, and started learning how to ride a bike. In order to remain healthy, Benson needs a great deal of care and attention, a nutritious and balanced diet, and needs to follow a strict schedule of medication.

Malnutrition is a significant health problem for children in rural China. According to a 2006 survey sponsored by Stanford University, student diets in over 50% of primary schools in poor areas of Northwest China (where our school is located) contain little or no protein. More and more children in rural China are starting to board at school from an early age. They eat three meals a day at school and their families are responsible for paying meal fees. The government does not run a nutrition program or give direct subsidies for school meals. Guardians and school administrators are not well-informed about the linkages between good nutrition, children's development, and educational performance so they often are not willing to pay for adequantely nutritious food for their students. As a result, rural children's diets at home and school lack essential nutrients like proteins, iron, and important vitamins. Our observations are that many of the children in our program have stunted ...
