Elvis was living on the streets when he was rescued by Naivasha Children's Shelter in 2004. He lived at the Shelter for 10 years until social workers were able to reunite him with his mother in 2014.
Last year, Elvis graduated from high school with a B minus -- a huge accomplishment! He recently got a letter inviting him to continue his studies with a Diploma in Electrical and Electronics at Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology.
Elvis' mother is a single parent raising four children. She works as a casual laborer at a local flower farm, earning less than $70 a month. As much as she wants to, she can't afford to send Elvis to college.
Elvis's total tuition for the first year of college is $1300. This opportunity will giveElvis a bright future, and help his whole family.
We've started a GoFundMe campaign to raise the money Elvis needs to go to school. We are almost halfway to our goal, but we still need your help. School starts Sept. 6. Let's send Elvis to college!
