St. Anne Ang'orom Girls Secondary School currently educates 240 girls in Form 1 - 4 (9th through 12th grade in the US). Tuition is 19,000 Ksh per year (roughly $140). Core values of St. Anne are honesty, integrity, hard work, discipline, teamwork, and God-fearing. This encapsulates the quality education these girls receive in a culture where many girls do not attend past primary school.
Consider It Joy provides sanitary pads for all 240 girls at St. Anne every month. This allows the girls to stay in school and protects them from venereal diseases caused by using scraps of cloth and other methods. Lack of hygienic options can cause girls to turn to dangerous habits or even prostitution to gain access to sanitary pads. Provision allows for girls to stay healthy and focus on their education.
St. Anne is currently housing 39 girls who do not have a home to go to after school hours. The school is at risk of penalty due to not being licensed as a boarding school, but the risk to the girls if forced to live on the streets has led St. Anne administration to make the choice to keep these girls safe. Donations are greatly needed to update the school building to boarding school standards as well as cover tuition costs for needy students.
