Most of our students wake up in unheated and uninsulated one-room tin shacks with no water, electricity, heating, or cooling. They ready themselves for the day and wind their way through trash littered streets, stepping over streams of raw sewage, and ducking under damp laundry hanging in the breezeways. The metal gates of Beyond the Vision Community School signal safety and refuge. They are greeted by kind staff members who are there to love them, serve them, and provide them with advocacy and victim services. They receive warm food, including a cup of steaming porridge. After a long, cold night in the lightless slum, porridge brings warmth to their bones, and prepares them to excel in their studies.
In Christmas of 2016, John Skoog asked Jackline Musyoka if he could send Christmas gifts to her students at Beyond the Vision Community School. Jackline said that the students were hungry and needed food more than gifts, so John sent money, and told Jackline to buy food for the children.
What started small has grown into a revolution.
Beyond Vision Foundation now supports more than 450 students by providing education, nourishment, and support. This year, we honor our tradition of providing food and combatting food insecurity in Tassia by gifting funds to bolster the feeding program, and ensure that every student receives a cup of Christmas cheer.
