Many young children would like to join schools be it primary
or secondary schools to ensure they cope with the current generation. However,
it is not their faults or even their parents’ if they fail to do so. They sometimes
lack finances to carter their school fees and other needs. Education is
becoming expensive though it has also become a basic need.
Olorika Foundation came out as the source of hope for the
needy society in the year 2005. It extended from Nguruman to many places
including Shompole, Oloika, Olkiramatian and Oloserian. Mr. Bonde came up with
the foundation after realizing the suffering and how needy the society is.
The foundation has sponsored the following in its mission of
helping the needy.
·
Students’ school fees payment
·
Provision of teachers’ salary.
·
Provision of water drams and
·
Provision of library books for some schools.
Students’ school fees payment
The foundation sponsors a hundred
and fifty secondary and primary students. Seventy two students are from
Olkiramatian primary school while sixty five students are in Patterson Memorial
Secondary school. The other thirteen are in different secondary schools.
Some of the students are partially
sponsored while others are fully sponsored. This was arrived at after realizing
that other students are from extreme poverty affected families while others are
from poor but not extreme poor families.45 students in primary school are
partially sponsored in primary schools while 27 are fully sponsored. In secondary
school, 20 students are fully sponsored while 45 are partially sponsored.

pays salaries for some primary school teachers. It pays 2 Olkiramatian primary
school teachers, 3 from Entasopia and one from Pakaase primary school.

From 2012 however, there was a delay in payment of school
fees. Mr. Bonde explained the situation and promised he should have not let
them suffer if he was capable of controlling what he is undergoing.
Mr. Bonde is undergoing financial difficulties
as his source of finances is affected by frequent attacks. He called the whole
community to join him in prayers to help him out of the difficulties.

“I can’t promise for any help now as I am struggling to
recover from losses caused by my assailants. I will be back to help you if God
help me through.” Said Mr. Bonde.
