Project Report | Apr 23, 2025
The Hai School is alive and our journey continues

By Mariana Fischer | Hai Africa Founder

Dear Donor,

It’s with immense joy and gratitude that we share an important update from Kabiria, Kenya.

Thanks to your generous support, our dream of building a new Hai Africa school became a beautiful reality. Since January 8th, 2025, our new school has been filled with children, laughter, learning, and life.

We now have 206 children enrolled, including those in our primary program. The space — complete with open windows, clean bathrooms, a proper kitchen, solar energy, and clean water — is a reflection of everything we believe in: dignity, safety, joy, and transformation through education.

But this isn’t the end of a journey. It’s just the beginning.

As our school grows, so do our challenges. With more children, we now face higher operational costs — from food and security, to educational materials and new staff salaries.

We want to be transparent with you: continuing this work requires resources. Every contribution helps us ensure that each child is fed, safe, and learning with love.

Here’s what your support continues to make possible:

  • A school that serves 206 children daily

  • A growing team of local teachers and staff

  • A positive impact on over 250 families in the community

We are deeply proud of how far we’ve come — and we remain committed to doing even more.

If you can, we invite you to keep walking this path with us. Your continued support truly means the world.

From our hearts, and on behalf of every child and every mama: Asante Sana. Thank you. Obrigada. Merci.

With love,
Yuri & Mariana
