The Rachel’s Hope Scholarship is a new and transformative initiative established by David's Hope International (DHI). It is a university scholarship program designed to empower exceptional graduates of Camp Brethren High School in the rural Kenyan village of Eburru.
To transform the Eburru community through advanced education of Camp Brethren graduates who will lead their communities and country, grounded in Christian faith and empowered by a university education.
To enable all graduating seniors of Camp Brethren High School with academic excellence, motivation and faith in Jesus Christ to attend university and receive mentorship & leadership certification, regardless of financial means.
The goal of Rachel’s Hope is to ensure that the top graduates of CBM High School attend university and benefit from the CBM mentorship program that will seek to sharpen them and help place them in attachments and quality jobs upon graduation. In addition, Rachel’s Hope is intended to increase the visibility and desirability for parents to send their children to CBM schools knowing that graduates will have the opportunity to receive university scholarships and benefit from the mentorship & leadership program. Scholarship recipients are expected to give back or “pay it forward” to CBM by agreeing to fund a scholarship for a CBM school student for each year they were on scholarship or serving on staff at CBM in a position of need.
To be eligible for the Rachel’s Hope Scholarship, a student must meet the following criteria:
Support for Rachel’s Hope will come from a division of David’s Hope established for this purpose. The funding goal is to raise enough support to meet the mission statement.
The Program will start with 4 to 10 scholarships per year and seek to increase to all eligible students as funds become available.

Students will be rated on a weighted scale of the following key criteria:
A scoring rubric is used for scoring students based on their application form answers. Real reference letters from teachers and others are needed. An interview involving all stakeholders (DHI, RHS, and CBM) will be conducted.
Scholars must adhere to the following strict Code of Conduct:
The DHI-RH Management System will be the main tracking tool used by all to manage this program. This system will be updated by the Rachel’s Hope Program Manager in Kenya.
The aim of the DHI-RH management system will be:
All Rachel’s Hope recipients are to be tracked in the DHI-RH Management system with at least one complete update for each student each semester (twice per year). Key Updates will include the following:
There is a need for a thorough and consistent follow up on the leadership development and mentoring of the students.
The Program Manager will be responsible for helping scholarship recipients navigate internship and job opportunities. In order to do this, the PM will need to work extra hard to help identify potential opportunities and build up the program and the students such that companies will want to hire Rachel’s Hope Scholars for their Internships and Attachments and ultimately even for jobs in the future.
There is need to be some “secret sauce” or something that makes Rachel’s Hope scholars stand out from the others, and these core values include:
The mentorship program should provide a certification to show the student has attained the above mentioned core values having gone through different classes in Leadership, Money/Finance management, Business and administration, etc..
The Program Manager works for DHI in partnership with CBM and is based in the Nakuru area. Their responsibilities include:
RH Scholars will be obligated to pay forward or give back to CBM upon graduation and once the graduate is in a financial position to support. There are two primary ways to give back:
The AGREEMENT should be duly signed by all the parties involved and should also be approved.
