School supplies and a laptop for Kato in Kasarani
Kato won a place at Kasarani Science Academy but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Kato earned a place in Form 4 at Kasarani Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $100, which is more than they have.
Kato loves design and technology and wants to become a software developer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
He will take care of everything given and works very hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $100 goes:
• Laptop: $55
• Textbooks and workbooks: $40
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
