Scholarships for Bridge students

Last July I had the opportunity to visit Bridge International Academies schools in Kenya. Bridge International is an organization with over 600 schools  in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Liberia, and India that is dedicated to providing high quality education to the poorest children in the world for a very low cost. Since they were founded in 2009, Bridge has educated over 100,000 children in the poorest communities (slums and informal settlements) around the world. 

This April, I flew a Bridge International representative to Seattle from Kenya! Her name is Lillian, and she and I gave numerous presentations at schools around Seattle about Bridge's model, and the importance of educating children with an emphasis on giving young girls the opportunity to go to school. Bridge schools are located in the poorest communities of the world. Although Bridge is very inexpensive, it is still extremely difficult for Bridge families to send their children to school when the average monthly income per Bridge family is only $136. 

We are looking to raise scholarships for Bridge International students! Only $12 will cover a whole month of school for a child. $140 will cover a full year of tuition. 264 million children are not in school as of late 2017. This needs to change. With models like Bridge's, we can make that change and give more kids the opportunity to become educated and live better, fuller lives.
