Lunch for Lenana

Lunch for Lenana

Background:
Last November, the Standard 8 class of Dagoretti Youth School in the slum of Lenana, Kenya had an opportunity to take the KCPE Primary National Examination. Unfortunately, the head teacher ran away with the registration money, and all 31 students were disqualified. For all of these students, this was the pinnacle of their educational careers because there is no secondary school available for them. After hearing this heartbreaking story, The Supply has decided to build Lenana's first ever secondary school. As the students make the financial sacrifices to re-take this test, we want to provide them with an opportunity to continue their education and fulfill their dreams. We want you to join us in helping us launch this week-long campaign to finish fundraising for the secondary school and to be the supply to the large demand for education that exists in Lenana.

What's going down?
Schools across the US will participate in this weeklong lunch campaign. Students will ask parents, administrators, students to forego one meal during that week and donate their lunch money.

Who: High Schools across the US
When: November 14 - 18. We will play our part as these students re-take the 2011 KCPE examination.

Why Give up Lunch Money?: Slum orphans crave education. They often forego lunch each day to ensure that they have enough money to pay for school tuition. We can all give up one day's worth of lunch money to help raise $35,000 collectively and raise the first secondary school for these children
