September 2007

Last September, eight students in Amani’s Non-Formal Education Program - including Anthony - sat for their secondary school entrance exams. Anthony and five of his classmates passed the exam, earning the opportunity to study at secondary school! Only 40% of the students who took the exam passed this year, making us even prouder of Anthony’s achievement.
“Anthony is very disciplined and he’s become a role model for the other students,” says his teacher, Josephine. He excels in mathematics and social studies, and he was selected “Student of the Month” twice last year. Anthony’s dream is to finish secondary school and go to college. We’re all rooting for his continued success!

September 2007

8 colleagues from iCrossing UK aimed to raise £10,000.00 for Amani, and eventually raised £12,402.72!

More information about the 07 Kilimanjaro Climb is here. This money has gone towards a new playground and helping to some of the children go to live with families in the community.
