One of our ongoing initiatives is constructing a 27-classroom block to be utilized for high school education at Cornerstone Preparatory Academy. This building will be able to handle the growth we are expecting over the next few years. These buildings are vital for Cornerstone Preparatory Academy to provide transformative education to a growing number of students joining us in the coming years, eventually reaching full enrollment of nearly 1,000 students.

When high schoolers from Naomi’s Village and the surrounding community graduate from Cornerstone Preparatory Academy, we want to continue giving them an opportunity to go on to post-secondary education and to transform their futures.

The Endowment allows us to provide all that is needed while receiving higher education and as they are embarking on their careers. When the norm is to move out of their home at age 18 and fend for themselves, we are ensuring our children can overcome the cycle of severe poverty and become change agents in their country.

Over the next few years, many students will be graduating and moving on to trade schools and universities.

In late April 2024, Naomi’s Village experienced a series of catastrophic natural disasters that severely impacted LEAP Preschool, our early childhood development program. Our leadership team determined it is in our best interest to relocate this program from its previous site on the campus of Naomi’s Village to the Cornerstone property, preventing further issues associated with potential mudslides and severe flooding during heavy rainy seasons. Due to these conditions, we will be building an Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) in 2025 to re-establish LEAP Preschool in its new location.

In the last year, we have witnessed the Lord moving in the hearts of several individuals and families to join us as field workers at Naomi’s Village. Over the next few years, many will move to Kenya, making long-term commitments to serve our ministry. Due to this increase, we will be building an apartment building on the Cornerstone property with capacity to accommodate those responding to God’s calling to serve in Kenya.

Every week at Naomi’s Village there are many activities taking place, including worship nights and a Sunday church service. We need a non-portable sound system to be installed in this multi-purpose room, providing a better worship experience for children, staff, and visitors.

Every January, we welcome back 50 four-year-olds and a brand-new class of 50 three-year-olds from Naomi’s Village and the surrounding community to LEAP Preschool, a literacy-rich, play-focused environment. Fully funding a LEAP Preschooler costs $250/month, including two meals and two snacks a day, six days per week; school uniforms and shoes; school supplies; and all that is necessary to provide the best education possible. Sign up today to sponsor a LEAP Preschool student for 2025 and beyond.

1.5 million school-aged kids in Kenya do not attend school due to poverty. Despite this tragic statistic, education is their only hope of escape from poverty. Currently, we have almost 400 students enrolled at Cornerstone Preparatory Academy, our K-12 school. The cost to fully support each child is $250/month. This provides two meals and two snacks a day, 6 days a week; school uniforms and shoes; and all that is needed to provide the best education for these children.

700 children are orphaned every day in Kenya. Currently, Naomi’s Village Home is raising 96 children left parentless due to HIV/Aids, domestic violence, and the effects of extreme poverty. Each child is provided a loving home, a caregiver to nurture and support them, clothing, food, medical care, discipleship, education, and more. We have been called to provide all that is necessary, from infancy to adulthood, for the children being raised in our home. Join us by fully sponsoring a child at Naomi’s Village Home.

Every few years, our Naomi’s Village family travels by train to an all-inclusive coastal resort in Kenya. Staff and children swim and play in the Indian Ocean, eat delicious food together, strengthen bonds, and build lifelong memories.

Donate

Each year our Naomi’s Village children receive new Crocs and tennis shoes. Those who play soccer also receive a new pair of cleats.

Having sturdy, well-fitted shoes makes a big difference. Our goal is to continue providing every growing child with new shoes yearly.

Currently, we operate our sporting events at Cornerstone without a scoreboard, using the “old school method” of pen and paper. As we continue to host and compete with other schools, we need a portable scoreboard for use in both our gymnasium and soccer field.

Cornerstone Preparatory Academy’s teachers work hard every day to educate our students. Additionally, they must pay attention and dismiss students on time for their next class. An automated school bell system would help them to maintain focus on teaching and improve our school’s overall productivity.

We are currently in need of four new projectors at Cornerstone and Naomi’s Village Home. The projectors will be used in classrooms and at our worship center.

When a child sits down with their Kindle, on average, they read more than an hour/day. Kindle Paperwhite Kids is designed just for reading, which means no distractions from apps, videos, or games. Help us provide children at Naomi’s Village Home with the opportunity to read outside of school.

In April 2024, supplies and equipment vital to carrying out our LEAP Preschool curriculum were lost in a devastating flood. Please give to help us replace furniture, rugs, brain building games, books, and other learning implements.

A day trip to Nairobi National Safari Park allows our students and staff to leave their community and experience the beauty of God’s creation up close and personally. The cost per child is $16, which includes transport, lunch, and a fantastic learning experience.

Our MTOTO Early Childhood Program empowers first-time mothers with the knowledge and resources to raise healthy babies and toddlers, who will then be welcomed into LEAP Preschool at age 3. We do this through in-home training and a 12-week community Parenting Course. This initiative of Naomi's Village is a wonderful opportunity to invest in real change beginning at the earliest stage of life in Kenya. As the program continues growing each year, we need another nurse to best serve these mothers and babies.

As Cornerstone continues to grow, we need to be able to provide safe and timely transportation for all of our students to and from school, six days a week. Due to this growth, we need to purchase an additional school bus.

Over 3,100 children die every year from diarrhea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation in Kenya. Access to clean, safe water is a catalyst for change and the first step in elevating communities from a cycle of sickness and poverty to one of health and hope.

The same is necessary for our new LEAP Preschool students. Providing a simple and cost-effective water fltration system for each family reduces the risk of those diseases.

The Naomi’s Village baby room has been deemed by many as “the happiest place on earth.” We aim to provide all that is necessary for every baby at Naomi’s Village. One necessity is diapers, which cost about $60/month for 5 babies.

As our high school students are preparing for university and life after graduation, we are implementing several independent living classes, including the fundamentals of finances. Understanding how to spend and save money is an important way to help students rise above chronic poverty in Kenya. The Dave Ramsey Financial Foundations Curriculum helps high school students understand biblical financial principles, and how to responsibly manage their resources.
