Below is a note from Irine Auma Ongondo, the first ever Kager youth sponsored by the Jubilee Scholars Program!"I am grateful to have this privillege to write this essay to express my fundemental feelings towards your help. I would like to congratulate the Jubilee leaders who came up with the opinion and project to support those who are not capable to continue with their education because of financial difficulties.
I so much value this suport and I would like to promise that I will always be ready to work very hard in classwork. I know that this will motivate the Jubilee members at Kager Vision Centre to carry on with the same spirit.
Another thing that I must not fail to indicate here is that I would like to become a Lawyer after studying the law of Kenya and how they operate. I hope that won't be ten years from now. That is my ambition and I hope my dream will come to be accomplished.
Finally I would like to wish the Jubilee Champions and Partners a humble and nice time as they continue to stand with me financially. Otherwise I don't have much to say. May the Lord God of Israel bless JVP greatly and abundantly."

The Jubilee Scholars Program is focused on identifying and sponsoring “low income, high performing” children and provide the financial resources to allow them to attend secondary school. The Scholars Program will also provide mentorship under the guidance of Andrew Aduda, JVP Education Champion, and David Kayando, JVP Team Kager Lead Champion.
The following criteria will be used to identify and select 1 girl and 1 boy annually to receive Jubilee Scholars Program sponsorships for their entire secondary school education:
- Completed 8th grade and received the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education
- High performance on the O-Level exam
- Strong moral behavior and personal integrity
- Demonstrated role model to other students
- Financial need – the chosen students will be selected from family’s that do not have the financial means to send their children to secondary school
- Commitment to share their lives and give back to the Kager community
The Jubilee Scholars sponsorship is renewable annually and is dependent on annual achievement of the following items:
- Satisfactory grade performance
- Completion of periodic reporting
- Completion of periodic guidance and counseling
- Contribution by the parents (or extended families) of at least 20% of their school costs
Stay tuned as we have one more Jubilee Scholar that will head to secondary school in the coming weeks!
