Nuru Center

We had another successful Kikapu campaign. We managed to distribute kikapus (baskets) of food to 85 needy families. In addition, we provided food to 50 patients at the Molo district hospital.

The 2012 scholarships have been awarded. We'd like to thank all of you who voted on facebook on the students you thought was most deserving. The three students who go the most votes were awarded the scholarship. The scholarship will afford the students a life changing opportunity of having four years of secondary school. It covers 100% of all the cost of school including tuition, fees, books, boarding, uniforms and all other items needed.

All of us at Nuru Center would like to thank all the donors, volunteers and everyone who participated in making the 2010 Kikapu Campaign the success that it was. We were able to give food Kikapus(baskets) to ninety families in the Molo and Kitui areas of Kenya. Each Kikapu contains enough food that can feed a family of four for at least ten days. We were also able to give Christmas cheer to fifty patients at Molo District Hospital on Christmas eve. The visit by the volunteers left the families and especially the children grinning with happiness.
