Am glad an opportunity to assist our vulnerable and disadvantaged children has come.
We have a school in Kenya with many HIV /AIDS orphans and many more who cant afford the fees in public schools.
Through friends and companies we have a school that cares for all and we are glad an opportunity has come our way to get support.
God bless you all out there and AMEN.

Sincerely yours,
we are organized youth in groups. we have formed a larger CBO with broader objectives covering all these smaller groups. But we are looking for start-up support in establishing this organization. We especially as young people lack money in putting structures and other office wares. We actually tried applying for funding but failed since our organization still needs start-up.

I have a business idea that I want to implement but have challenges raising capital. There are a bunch of different dynamics that make it a bit of a challenge. What can I do to overcome the challenges? Especially with finances. I look forward to hearing from a representative.
