WE DID IT EVERYONE! FULLY FUNDED! THE FIRST SECONDARY SCHOOL IN THIS SLUM IN NAIROBI WILL NOW BE FULLY FURNISHED!
We're heading into the final hour! 60 minutes to raise $464 and we will have reached the goal for this campaign! All of your donations are not merely financial contributions -- they are a declaration that even the "least of these" matter. We can not thank you enough for partnering up with us and let's celebrate soon!
The government should provide the basic school needs for a secondary school correct? Per pupil funding? I mean, fine, take out the school feeding program or the funds for extracurricular activities, BUT school furniture — that’s a no brainer right?Well this is not the case for children in urban slums. Governments do not/rarely provide services to slum communities (yea, def some human rights vio...
7 hours left! We just reached 90% funded!!! Only $858 left to go to reach our goal! http://purecharity.com/muscorts-last-wish
Today is the last day of this campaign! We can't thank you enough so far! Let's reach that goal together today!
We're heading to the homestretch with a day and half left in this campaign. We're so close as we can now start seeing the end! We can't say thank you enough! Maybe have told us our goal was too high, but you guys have all come together to support! Let's do this!
All that is left are 70 school desks ($40 donation each), until we successfully reach our goal! We only have 2 days left and really could use your support once again! This is a gift that will continue to give to the scholars of this particular slum.
We have about 60 hours to finish the funding project! We want to keep you in the loop through these next 60 hours with highlights, hallmarks, and updates since we are all in this together! The world said that these orphans and slum children shouldn't receive a quality education -- you guys are all joining us to disagree with that. Let's do this!
Great news! We asked and you gave! Thank you! We just passed the 5k mark, and we are inching closer to the goal with 3 days left! After some re-shuffling and crossing off, we have covered every funding need except 87 classroom desks! We're so close!
We just surpassed the halfway mark! With only 4 days left, help us reach the goal! This campaign will only be funded if we reach our goal!
We have only one week left in our campaign and approx 5k left to go! However, we have great news! A private donor wants to meet all of you halfway and is pledging to match dollar for dollar up to $2500. What that means, if we raise $2500, that's equal to $5,000 and we'll reach our goal!Please consider helping us reach the $2500!
Our founder, Eddo Kim is celebrating his 29th birthday today! As he turns 29, he is asking 29 people to generously give $29 for 29 chairs!
Thank you all for your generous donations so far! If you have already given or are planning on doing any end-of-year giving to this campaign, please know that all of your donations will be 100% tax deductible (no fiscal cliff for tax year 2012! :) ) Please help us finish this funding by the end of the year!

Our friends at Slate & Stylus have made a pledge to fund the 6 chalkboards! So, we're 41 classroom desks, and 6 chalkboards in. Today we're pushing for 90 classroom chairs at $29 each.https://www.purecharity.com/muscorts-last-wish
Today, our hope is to raise $490 for 6 classroom chalkboards! We can do it!
Watch this clip of one of the 8th graders who will be attending the new secondary school. Furniture is needed for the school. The school is needed for the upgrading of slums. Upgrading of slums is needed for changing this world. Watch as John explains his aspirations. You will truly be inspired! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJWN6it0qo8&hd=1
Because of someone's tremendous generosity late this evening, we were able to double up and now have enough funding for nearly 40 desks! Tomorrow we're going to try to finish this first funding phase! Thank you all!
It's early into this special project, and we've already raised $600, in which 100% will go to providing classroom desks for the new secondary school in the Lenana slums. (Today and tomorrow, we're aiming to secure 75 more desks). Thank you to all that have supported so far!
