There’s now a new and easy way for you to help us raise funds for Operation Imprezza - simply by shopping online! easyfundraising is a shopping directory that features some of your favourite online stores, including Amazon, NEXT, Debenhams, John Lewis, Toys’R’Us, HMV and over 500 others. All you have to do is use the links on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we'll receive a free donation of up to 15% from every purchase you make. It really is that simple! It’s completely FREE to register and use and you still shop with each retailer in exactly the same way. Many retailers even offer additional discounts and money saving e-Vouchers when you shop using easyfundraising. If you shop online anyway then why not raise valuable extra funds for us by using this fantastic scheme. All you need to do is visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/operationimprezza and when you register, select Operation Imprezza as the organisation you wish to support. In Kenya secondary education is not state funded. Lack of money stops the majority of eligible students from receiving secondary education. Operation Imprezza is a charity that makes secondary education available to some of these students. Our aim with Imprezza is to develop this secondary school to its full potential, then open others in both rural and town environments. Because some students are orphans, or in rural areas the distance travelled to school is so great some of the schools will have to have a boarding facility. Upon leaving school we sponsor students through University and for those not attending and eligible, we operate a micro finance scheme to allow them to set up in a small business or become self employed having received appropriate training. Unemployment is around 65% so it is pointless giving an education and then abandoning the students with no prospects. Equal opportunities in all areas are offered to both male and female students. We also work to improve the health and welfare of the students and where possible their families.
