In a scholar's words
“I will forever keep the Ajiri family at heart. You have been my everything since I was a child.”
Thomas, Ajiri scholar since kindergarten, in his last year of secondary school
Thomas was three when we met him. Every box of tea and every donation helped give him the structure and support to grow up.
What We Do
We don’t sponsor the students with the highest grades, or the ones we think have the most “potential.” Instead, we focus on each child: where they come from, and where they want to go.
