our first intake. At the current rate of
funding there is sufficient funding to
support these students to the end of each
of their programmes (Dec 2023, Sept 2024,
Dec 2024 and Dec 2025).
We also secured funding for the community
programme which saw 6 beneficiaries be
taught, mentored and discipled for 3
months.
We hope to secure funding for 2 more
students to join our university programme
in June 2023.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

objective was met as we gained enough
funds for each student to finish the
programme.

funds to allow New Routes Foundation to
continue employing local Kenyan staff. This
objective was met as we gained enough
unrestricted funds to continue the
employment of a local Kenyan staff
member.

funds to start our community outreach
project, where we went into a local Kenyan
school and taught, discipled and mentored
6 students. This objective was met as we
gained enough to run this programme and
it was a wonderful success.
