Climate is so severe at times... It's good they came up with such a great idea to provide weather-index crop insurance to the farmers.

Re: In Memory of Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

Lillian Covington — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 18:36:22 -0000

What a sad day for
Kenya and the rest of the world........ RIP Prof. Wangari Maathai! May
your legacy inspire many to rise up to their calling, to embrace their call
unreservedly, to champion and fight for what we believe unashamedly... to stand
against all odds... and be known by the focus we have as we consistently speak
the one language of our specific call...Hers was the environment and she spoke
that one language for as long we knew her!!! May this seed that has fallen to the
ground and died bring forth a major harvest of vision, passion, courage and
action!

Thank you for your comment, Andrea. This tuition is actually something a number of the students can afford, and for those who can't, our school fee loan products can help their families continue to send them to school. Many of our school proprietor clients also provide reduced or even free tuition to students living in extreme poverty, including those impacted by AIDS.
