This year was a significant milestone for Crossing Thresholds, as 23 students from our high school program graduated and completed their national exams. These students represent the first major cohort to graduate since we launched our Futures Program, a scholarship program for high school students from the Kibera Slum. This achievement highlights the students' hard work and determination and demonstrates the positive impact of our scholarship program, which provides underserved children in Kibera with access to quality education and opportunities. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and look forward to seeing where their educational journeys will take them next. Here is what some of them had to say: “Thank you to Crossing Thresholds for supporting my education and ensuring my studies were not interrupted due to lack of school fees. Your involvement in my academic journey means a lot to me, and I am now confident in my dream of becoming a civil engineer. Going forward, I am hoping that I will get a chance to join the University. This will allow me to have a positive impact on the lives of others.”
“I am grateful for the opportunity to attend school with the support of Crossing Thresholds. My high school experience has been smooth, and I had ample time to study because my school fees were paid on time. I am hopeful that I will achieve a good grade and believe I will have another opportunity to further my education at the college level. Thank you, and I pray that through your support, others will also have the chance to go to school.”
“My high school experience had some valuable lessons about life. Throughout my journey, I have gained important knowledge, and I am grateful that I had the chance to go to high school. I believe that the education I have received will enable me to achieve significant accomplishments in the future, allowing me to give back to society. I would like to express my gratitude to Crossing Thresholds, and I am optimistic about qualifying for university when the results are released.”
“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Crossing Threshold for the support you have provided me throughout my high school journey. I have recently completed my high school education and am eagerly awaiting the results. Over the past four years, I have learned a lot and had the opportunity to interact with students from diverse backgrounds. As a Class Captain at my school, I was able to apply my leadership skills to help our school grow and thrive. Thank you once again for your support, and may the Almighty God bless you abundantly as you continue to assist other children in need.”
“Crossing Thresholds has been a great support during my high school journey. Despite the challenges that come with being a student, I have been fortunate NOT to worry about school fees. I am hoping to achieve good test results so I can attend university and pursue my career. I believe we can all make Crossing Thresholds proud by becoming successful in life.”
"I appreciate Crossing Thresholds for being supportive and ensuring my high school education was successful. Your dedication to helping me navigate the challenges of education has been helpful in my success. I genuinely appreciate the opportunities you've provided for me to learn, grow, and develop new skills. Thank you for believing in me."
“High school has been a wonderful experience for me since my education was fully funded by Crossing Thresholds. Having been born and raised in Kibera, I have learned a lot and made many new friends from places I never dreamed of visiting. Through my interactions with fellow students, I realized that we are all equal and that our backgrounds do not define who we are. Thank you, Crossing Thresholds, for giving me the opportunity to study. I hope to make you all proud!”
