While we are assisting students who come to B.L. Tezza School for the Deaf, we realized that beyond classrooms, their safety and basic needs must also be met. That’s why, with this land purchase, we are moving forward with two critical projects: drilling a well for clean water and building a safe house for our children. The well will ensure that students have reliable access to clean water, while the safe house will provide a secure place for them to stay during the long school holidays, keeping them safe and supported. In October 2024, through a generous grant, we were able to purchase the land needed for these projects. Now, our next step is to drill the well and begin construction on the safe house to create a safe, healthy environment for learning and living.
TOTAL COST $25,000
Through grant funding, the B.L. Tezza School for the Deaf has built two new classrooms. One of these classrooms will be a dual-purpose science laboratory and classroom for grades 6 through 9. Our students have never had the opportunity of a science lab. Students and staff currently need to walk 1.5 miles to another school to complete these lessons. Please help us complete this project.
TOTAL COST: $4,000
We are working to expand technology education for students at the B.L. Tezza School for the Deaf in Karungu, Kenya, by installing solar power and providing consistent internet access. Reliable electricity and connectivity will enable students to engage in digital learning, access sign language resources, and participate in STEM programs tailored to their needs. This initiative will help bridge the educational gap, empowering students with disabilities with the skills and opportunities to pursue future careers in science, technology, and beyond.
TOTAL COST: $5,500
The B.L. Tezza School for the Deaf serves over 75 children in their rural community. However, not all children we meet can come to our school due to various needs. Through our scholarship program, we give children the opportunity to go to school in a setting that is appropriate for them. This helps children learn both academic and vocational skills to better their future.
TOTAL COST $2,500
