John Carver Show - Saw and Believed

This is from a sermon I shared at Faith Outreach Chapel in March 2016.

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.” – Robert A. Heinlein

“No one gets very far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.” – Elbert Hubbard

Building a high school for molding female achievers in Kenya with a focus on life skills.

Benard Didacus Opiyo uradi school

Location: Uradi Village, Kenya-Siaya, Africa

Why and How Ben is Making an Impact:

The idea first came to me while talking with a close friend towards the end of 2008. We were discussing education trends in this remote village in Kenya. It was not pleasing, the poverty index is high, there is a high percentage of school dropouts and those who finish, only a minute fraction make it to the university.

The situation of girls is even more dire due to early pregnancies and some lingering cultural perception that it is not worth spending a lot of funds educating girls. Something had to be done. It took the audacious step of beginning a school to change the trend. Out of this talk and some hard work we founded Uradi Girls High School with the motto of Moulding Achievers. We established it in 2010 and already have 98 girls! The whole design of the school when completed should be able to house 360 girls. The work continues!

Our goal is to successfully keep the students in school no matter the challenges, and help them through university so that in 10-15 years time they are able to mentor others in this school and later be fruitful people in the business world, family and politics.
