Sadly, it is usually those who have some dollars saved up who are privy to an adequate education.  I have been introduced to a wealth of students who are not only capable, but thirsty for greater knowledge than the basics that their parents can afford.  Kira Cares, Inc. strongly emphasizes the importance of education in ameliorating the circumstances of the children we serve.   We believe that every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education.  However, the combined cost of schoolbooks, uniforms, and other daily expenses such as lunch and bus fare can be too huge of a financial burden for some parents to carry.  As a result, bright children are kept from attending school to help their families, or are limited in their options of academic institutions.  Our organization wants to keep this cycle from recurring.

This fall, Kira Cares, Inc. proudly awarded scholarships to three underprivileged students in Jamaica.  We grant our scholarships based on the students’ financial need and academic merit.  Next year, they will qualify for a renewal of their scholarships as long as they continue to keep up the excellence they have already demonstrated.  By fostering a relationship with our students, we intend to keep them on the right track; we want to show them the power that an education can have. Awarding these scholarships is a phenomenal start to our mission at hand: to bring about a positive change in the lives of the underprivileged youth of Jamaica.

With the funding of our supporters, we intend to award more scholarships to children in need who are well-rounded individuals.  We support students who are high academic achievers and are active in their community. Your assistance is helping us change the lives of Jamaican children for the better. You are getting them off the streets and in schools. You are helping them build a promising future.  Three students are benefiting from the support you have shown us.  And now we need to help more.  Your donations will make this a reality for many more deserving students.  Let’s continue to be the positive change in the lives of these children, and thank you to everyone who has assisted us thus far.
