Combined Test Solutions, leading UK provider of cable harness & high voltage test equipment, is embracing the spirit of giving with its ongoing charitable donations to RUSH Kenya; an organisation that cares for Kenya’s most vulnerable children.
The RUSH Academy run by RUSH Kenya who are based in Kakamega, Western Kenya was founded to provide education to local children and give them the tools to break out of the cycle of poverty.
Since 2002, the academy has grown from just a kindergarten to a kindergarten, primary and secondary school. Children from the first kindergarten class are now in their second year of university. RUSH Academy takes on children from the age of two and a half until the end of secondary school. The academy is currently attended by around 500 students, over 200 of whom board.
Many pupils at RUSH are able to attend the academy with the support of sponsors based in the UK, such as CTS. Sponsorship provide school fees which help fund the school, access to medical care, nutritious meals and school materials including a uniform.
Education is the first step on the route out of poverty, but for so many families around the world, poverty is the barrier keeping children from getting the education they deserve and preventing them from accessing the benefits and opportunities that school provides.
With this latest charitable donation, Combined Test Solutions is happy to be able to make a contribution towards changing lives in some of the poorest, most rural areas of the world.
