Bloom Where Planted
We are driven by THE MISSION:
To enhance the lives of children and further education in Kenya by providing books, improved learning environments, and secondary school sponsorships.
By educating girls and boys, we hope to help them ‘Bloom where they are planted’ — to prosper and be good citizens in their own countries, promoting peace and goodwill in the world.
Rose Tree Cottage
is
Twenty years ago, on a Rose Tree safari, we made our first visit to a Primary School in Kenya - soon to become known as ‘Our School’. Bearing books, we were greeted by children in the courtyard — treated like royalty! The dancing, singing and smiles of these children won our hearts. Concern for their learning environment won our concern.
On return to California, we could not get the school out of our minds. After deciding how we could help, the first thing to be done was to fill the potholes in the classrooms.
From potholes to providing further education for students leaving primary school, we have grown into a charity affecting over 1000 young lives and their families.
