Meta Recurring Donation Matching Fundraiser (Nov. 15 to Dec 31, 2022) – Make a recurring donation of up to $100/month on the MEF Facebook page and MEF will receive up to $100 match from Meta after you make your second automatic donation. You can continue monthly donations or cancel them after the second donation, and we will still receive the match (until Meta matching funds run out). Detailed instructions are available at: https://maasaieducationfoundation.org/2022-meta-matching-fundraiser-for-mef/. Donations will go towards scholarships, an internet connection, photovoltaic system improvements, dormitory furnishings and a planned boys’ dormitory. A recurring monthly donation of $58.33 will sponsor a child at the school for a year. $116.67/month will sponsor two students.

#GivingTuesday Matching Fundraiser – Nov. 29 to Dec 31, 2022 – Double your impact – We have $15,000 in matching funds! – Our biggest fundraiser of the year starts TOMORROW (November 29, 2022, 8AM EST) and runs through December. Our goal is to raise $35,000 for 2023 school sponsorship/operating costs and $5,000 for an improved school internet connection, girls’ dormitory furnishings, refurbishing the school’s photovoltaic system and the proposed boys’ dormitory. This goal includes funds received through the Meta Recurring Donation Matching Fundraiser. MEF donors are currently supporting 57 primary school students and $39,900 is required to fund these students again in 2023. Only 18% of students attending EEMPS come from families that pay tuition and fees. The rest are classified as charity students by EEMPS and are supported by MEF and other donors. The cost to sponsor a boarding student for the 11 months that they are at the school each year is $700. This pays for their tuition, room and board, school uniforms, medical care, etc. MEF is committed to providing $70,000 in sponsorship/operating funds to EEMPS during the 2023 school year. If you donate after 8AM ET on Nov. 29, 2022, MEF donors have pledged to match at least the first $15,000 in donations. The first $35,000 in donations will go towards the school’s 2023 sponsorship/operating costs and additional donations and match will go towards improving the school’s internet connection, photovoltaic system, etc. To donate by credit card via Facebook go to https://www.facebook.com/MaasaiEducationFoundation/ and click on the blue DONATE button.
