About Us
The Priscilla Foundation is currently reliant on the generosity and time of Pastor Jane Jimono and her four daughters. At present the orphanage has few financial supporters and struggles to meet governmental standards. Failure to meet such standards would result in the children being separated. The introduction of the Angelica Chalk school (ages 3-12) was designed to provide the orphanage children with the mandatory skills required to enter into the public school system.
The school is primarily funded by Jane's daughter Angelica and her husband Patrick. But as the Kenyan government does not provide any aid for orphanages, the school requires additional funding to become a government certified school.
Priscilla Foundation
The Priscialla Foundation houses 48 children, the ages range from 7 months to 18 years. The orphanage itself is comprised of 10 rooms, and outdoor toilet and cooking facilities. There are six bedrooms for the children, with one bunk bed inside each and one room for the house mother. One single matrice sleeps four children, meaning that one bed room houses 8 children.
Of the 48 children; three are too young to attend school, 31 attend Angelica Chalk school, and 14 attend government subsidized schools. While these schools provide a cheap alternative to private schools, they still cost approximately $3,000 US per child/per year. This year alone it will cost the Priscilla Foundation $42,000 US dollars to place 14 children into the public school system.
Angelica Chalk School
The Angelica Chalk school has five classrooms, but only three volunteer orphanage. Currently the school educates the orphanage children and severely struggling community members for free. Networks for Voluntary Services (NVS) in affiliation with International Volunteers HQ (IVHQ) currently attempts to fill this gap, but a more permanent arrangement of teachers is required to for the school to continue and acquire tuition fees.
