The Fundraising dinner seeks to raise funds to support the distribution of Bibles to school-going children in primary and secondary schools who are from disadvantaged, poor and marginalized settings and cannot afford to buy a Bible. Through the support of our partners, the project is implemented across Kenyan schools, and we have seen a positive impact in the lives of children who have benefited from this programme.

The main objective of this project is to enable the students to engage with the word of God and bring hope and equal opportunities to marginalized children through Bibles. By giving them Bibles, they can interact with the word of God which is able to shape their perspectives and values. This then produces a spiritually and morally upright generation.

Annually, the Bible Society of Kenya distributes 10,000 Bibles. Kenya has a population of 16 million children in schools who are in need of Bibles. We look forward to reaching at least 200,000 children annually with the word. Additionally, this project seeks to help learners to have equal learning opportunities in schools since the Bible is one of the reference books for the Christian Religious Education (CRE) Subject which is one of the compulsory examinable subjects in Kenyan schools.

The intention is to see the children engage with Bibles in schools, homes and even in churches during various activities and induce transformation in all these setups. The Bible also heightens their Christian Religious Education (CRE) Subject performance that is taught and examined in Kenyan schools as well as being used as a reference material for PPI (Pastoral Programme Instruction) which is also implemented in primary schools in Kenya.

We invite you to join us for a fundraising dinner on October 6th, 2023, at Pride in Hotel (Westlands) to raise funds that will enable us to avail Bibles to more children in Kenya.
