A little about your partner school...
Cherish School was set up in 2009 by Moses Kombo in Nakuru, Kenya to provide a free education and daily meal to children from the local area.
Without community-run projects such as Cherish School, it is unlikely that these children would receive an education at all, due to the costs of items such as uniforms, desks and textbooks that come with attending a government-run school.
Today, Cherish provides a free education and feeding programme to around 120 children between the ages of four and 16. There are eight classrooms and six teachers at the school.

FUNDRAISING IDEAS
Whilst fundraising for your partner school is by no means a compulsory part of your School Partnership, any amount your school raises will help Cherish School reach their goals sooner.
Below, you’ll find three simple ideas that other partner schools have used to fundraise – or feel free to come up with your own! Feel free to get in touch if you need any additional resources.
Non-Uniform Day
Ask students to donate £2 in return for wearing non-uniform to school, and you'll quickly see the pounds add up!
Cycle to Kenya
Get a team together to cycle the distance to your partner school, and ask people to sponsor your efforts.
Hold a Kenya Day
Hold a Kenya day at your school! Sell Kenyan food, auction off raffle prizes, or put on a cultural performance.
