We are excited to share that our faithful “torchbearers” have helped us reach 91% of our Fall fundraising goal! Year-after-year, we are humbled by the faithful generosity of so many, including our matching donor. On behalf of our students and their families – THANK YOU!
We are almost across the Fall fundraising finish line! Let’s finish strong to give these 128 students the opportunity to learn!
Keyara’s Gift is one of many great causes.
We live in a complicated and messy world. Headlines are testament to the many needs, of great urgency, here in the US and globally. If your inbox is like ours, it’s jammed with requests for your time, attention, signature, money, vote or help. So why be a “torchbearer” for students an ocean away?
We asked some of our most regular supporters, “Why do you partner with Keyara’s Gift?”
Some give out of plenty, while others do so sacrificially. Some are personal friends, some have a connection to West Africa, and others have stumbled upon our cause through different avenues - but all feel compelled to offer the hope of an education.
Even with sponsorship, these students must overcome challenges we’ll never know and yet they are so grateful for the chance to learn.
Let’s hear directly from a handful of “torchbearers”:
"When I hear the stories and see the photos of these students – my heart breaks. I’m grateful to be a small part of somehow righting the injustice of systemic poverty." |
Equipped with backpacks, school supplies, and uniforms, along with support and oversight from case workers - these students are ready to learn!
"I’m keenly aware of my privileged life, not just materially, but the fact that as a woman I have economic and political agency. How would I fare if I was born in Liberia? I’m not sure I’d have the grit and resilience to make it. Everyone deserves a chance. I hope my small contribution will make a difference for at least two students." |
Alfred, pictured here at his high school graduation, has overcome incredible obstacles and worked incredibly hard to achieve this goal. Without your support, he never would have been given the chance.
"What’s so compelling about Keyara’s Gift is that y’all are doing real work, providing the medical care, education, and opportunity we take for granted in our own kids' lives that I wish were a reality for every child. Because I know you personally, and that you are working with a trusted team in Liberia, I’m confident my donation is going just where it's needed and not wasted on administrative overhead. For me, this is a fantastic use of our tithing!" |
The Keyara’s Gift team works diligently to support students and their families!
"We love being able to support Keyara's Gift because we believe everyone is precious in God's eyes and deserves access to food, education and healthcare. With our support we are contributing to real, lasting change in the lives of vulnerable students and their families – providing them with hope, opportunity, and the chance to thrive." |
Education sponsorship makes a difference to entire families.
"Keyara’s Gift helps many students, year-after-year, and without this support these kids can’t attend school. Every dollar is well thought out and goes so far in making a difference." |
Torchbearers invited!
We continue to invite “torchbearers” to partner with Keyara’s Gift and offer the light of education through student sponsorship.
Let’s give all 128 students a chance to learn!
Can you help us reach our goal? We only need $9,200 more to finish our Fall Campaign making it possible for all 128 students to attend school!
Gratefully,
Karen and Kreig
