Chris takes His mother to Harvard University
"When I graduated here 24 years ago, my mother was absent from the ceremony, because it was too expensive for her to make the trip from my native village in Kenya to the United States. So you can imagine the joy I felt last week as I brought her for her first visit to the university, at the age of 83! Though uneducated herself, my mother has always valued education and indeed remains one of the smartest people I know." Chris Mburu

Rwandese girl with a dream
Education is a human right! It should be accessible to all and at the same level. Sadly this is not a reality in Kenya and most of Africa but it will change...there is hope.
A Rwandese teen has already edged out her part in this. Read the article to see the number of Ivy league colleges she's been called to.
There is hope...

The first school break is coming up for the 2017 school year. It is always an exciting time for us at HBEF as we get to hear from the students how the new year has been and what is different in their new classes. It is also an exciting time as we get to meet the new beneficiaries and hear their secondary school experience.

2017 Kajiado Home Visit
As part of the recruitment process, HBEF does beneficiary home visits to ascertain that the students are indeed from needy backgrounds as that is one of the key issues the organization looks at when seeking to recruit students each year.
Last week, 3 HBEF staff visited Olentoko Village in Kajiado County where Philip Surumen one of our Form 1 students is from. He joined Olkejuado High School and we look forward to meeting him during the first monitoring visit to hear his experience in secondary school.
The pictures are taken in the family homestead; Philip's mother - Maria Surumen, HBEF Executive Director - Sarah, Philip's primary Headteacher - Mr. Daniel Teeka and one of the younger children pose for a photo at the end of the interview.
Philip emerged the top pupil in his school and the whole district.
