Credit Card payment options have the highest fees? Paying with Venmo & ACH have the lowest fees for Non-Profits.
Though we charge very low school fees at our primary and high school, it is beyond the reach of some in our community to provide education for their children. To bridge the gap, we have community development programs and a Scholarship Program that provides tuition support so children are not left behind.
Help HEED provide access to education for more children by providing scholarships.

Our community development program empowers locally led community leadership teams to develop their own plans for sustainable development in their communities. Initiatives are funded through savings groups where members collectively save and invest.
We started with two savings groups last year, and this year six more have formed! As the groups multiply, the distance has become too far for our staff to walk and a motorcycle is needed to bridge the distance.
Our classrooms are now well-equipped with textbooks, science materials, and even laptops! Classroom cabinets are needed to store, organize and keep materials and supplies accessible. Our two new dormitory facilities have a fabulous gathering space, but they are empty. They need tables and chairs to create a place for students to study and engage in group activities. A quality photocopy machine would be invaluable, enabling us to produce important educational materials, assignments, and learning resources in-house.

Our community clinic serves our students, staff, and over 6500 people from five villages. We are working to make life-saving vaccinations widely available, but don’t have the specialized refrigerator to safely store them. A back up solar system is needed for the clinic to operate safely through frequent power outages, and an incinerator is needed to carefully dispose of medical waste.

Until HEED opened the community clinic, the nearest medical facility was 12 miles away.
Education empowers futures in people of all ages. Our demonstration farming program allows us to grow crops and raise animals to decrease school expenses and demonstrate innovative ways to generate income for our students, vocational program, and community.
In addition to growing maize, fruits, and vegetables to feed the students, we grow coffee as an income generating project for the schools and community. This year we hope to expand our goat herd, acquire several zero-graze milk cows to add milk to the students’ porridge, and plant an additional 3 acres of coffee that will begin yielding coffee beans in just 18 months.
Working beside the village church we planted, through Scripture Union Clubs in the schools, and special events, we seek to share the love of God in all we do. The church currently has no water available, but a water tank has been donated if we can install the water harvesting system to utilize it. Recently 100 new believers were baptized! A new tarp is needed for the “baptismal pond” for future baptisms.

HEED believes that every individual is a child of God, and it is our hope that through our work they would know the love of Jesus.
We are still working toward an adequate year-round water supply for the schools. Due to minimal subsurface water to supply our wells, we rely on rainwater collection. A base that can house 30 water tanks is already constructed and will increase the water supply at the high school by 30% when the 30 tanks can be added. We have sourced a point-of-use water purification system that would refine our harvested water ensuring pure, clean water for the clinic and primary school. For cleanliness, additional hand washing stations and installed waste bins are needed throughout the campus.
