A safe place to learn can change a child’s future forever.
In the remote regions of Kenya, children rise before sunrise and walk miles through harsh terrain—barefoot, hungry, and exhausted just to reach school. Along the way, they face the desert heat, unpredictable wildlife, and the constant risk of missing another day of learning.
For many families, the dream of education feels out of reach. But there is hope. This December, L Squared has launched a bold mission: 100 new donors by December to provide safe, nourishing education for children who need it most.
Each $50 gift enrolls one student in a boarding program, ensuring safety, food, and access to daily education. Together, these 100 donors can change the lives of 100 children—and spark a ripple of opportunity that reaches entire communities.
The Challenge: Education Beyond Reach
For children in rural Kenya, school is more than a classroom, it’s a lifeline. Yet, reaching it is often an impossible journey. Many walk up to six miles each way, often without breakfast or clean water. When the rainy season comes, roads disappear. When drought strikes, hunger keeps them home.
Without reliable access to education, children lose not only lessons but hope. Families know the value of schooling but cannot afford safe lodging or meals for their children. That’s where boarding schools play a crucial role. They provide safety, consistent learning, and two warm meals a day.
Still, hundreds of children remain on waiting lists, their future dependent on available sponsorships. This is why L Squared’s 100 Donors by December campaign matters now more than ever.

The Solution: Stability Through Education
Education for children in Kenya is one of the most effective ways to break the cycle of poverty. Boarding schools supported by L Squared create a structured, nurturing environment where children can focus on learning instead of survival.
Each $50 donation provides a full month of safety, meals, clean water, and education. That means:
A child who once walked miles can now sleep safely near school.
Parents can focus on work, knowing their children are protected.
Communities see higher school retention and literacy rates.
By supporting education, donors aren’t just helping one student, they’re building stronger communities rooted in stability and opportunity.
This is sustainable humanitarian aid in action: empowering children through education today so they can uplift others tomorrow.
Why 100 Donors by December Matters
The goal is simple yet powerful: 100 donors, 100 children, 100 new futures.
Each contribution directly enrolls one student in a boarding school program, providing them with everything they need to learn, grow, and stay safe. Together, these 100 donors will ensure that:
100 children have food and clean water every day.
100 families gain peace of mind knowing their child is protected.
100 classrooms stay full, creating a stronger foundation for Kenya’s next generation.
Every donor becomes part of something bigger, a shared mission to make education a right, not a privilege.
100 gifts. 100 futures secured.
Stories of Change: Real Lives, Real Futures
Meet Samuel, age 12. He used to walk two hours to reach school, often missing classes during the rainy season. With help from donors, he now boards safely near school, eats three meals daily, and dreams of becoming a teacher.
Then there’s Faith, age 10, who once carried her books in a plastic bag along a dusty road. Through donor support, she now attends school full-time and loves science class. Her parents say it’s the first time they’ve seen her smile every morning.
These stories show what happens when compassion meets opportunity. Each child helped through L Squared’s education programs becomes proof that one act of generosity can spark lasting change.
Beyond a Donation: Building Sustainable Impact
L Squared’s work doesn’t stop with one project. Each initiative whether it’s Hot Kitchens that provide meals, Tova Water that ensures clean water for schools, or Precious Pads that help girls stay in class, connects to a larger system of empowerment.
By investing in education for children in Kenya, donors also support a network of sustainable programs designed to meet multiple needs: nutrition, hygiene, and emotional well-being.
This integrated approach means every dollar contributes to long-term development, not temporary relief. It’s a cycle of empowerment that strengthens communities for generations.
