Mary, age 11, was orphaned last year. Her mother died from a brain tumour, leaving Mary and her 4 siblings in the care of their grandmother.
Just 5 days after her Mother’s death, Mary’s grandmother passed away, leaving the children completely alone.
Mary’s auntie has given up her job to take care of Mary and her siblings.
At the moment her school fees aren’t being paid which means Mary is missing valuable lessons and the opportunities she deserves.
You can help bring some light to this tragedy by becoming Mary’s sponsor, ensuring she can attend school and have the chance to shine.
By sponsoring Mary’s education for £35 per month, you will be giving her the chance to attend and complete primary, secondary and tertiary education. 100% of your support will go towards her public school fees, uniform, shoes, books, school meals and stationery. Each year you will receive communication from Mary and a school performance update from us. We would also make sure that you meet each other should you come on one of our Kenya Adventure (next one 2025) or House Building (next one 2026) trips to Kenya.

Our upcoming 10-year anniversary has received support from athletes both home and abroad including Usain Bolt, Eilish McColgan, Eliud Kipchoge and Laura Muir, as well as former 5000m world record holder and current chair of Parkrun UK, Sir David Moorcroft MBE.
The education-themed dinner and charity auction, kindly sponsored by Phil Anderson Financial Services Ltd. , is taking place on the 18th of May at Thainstone Centre in Aberdeenshire.
The event will be an opportunity for us to reflect on the impact had on the Kenyan 🇰🇪 and north-east Scotland 🏴 communities and look ahead to the next decade and beyond.
Our Co-Founder, Gideon Gathimba said, “As we approach a decade of GEF, it is a key time to reflect and be thankful for all the support GEF has received from donors, volunteers and partners alike. The charity has come so far over the years, and I am so grateful to everyone that has supported us. Our 10th anniversary dinner will be a fantastic opportunity to reflect and raise more funds to help support the lives of children in Kenya.”
With 300 people attending and an array of entertainment planned, it is sure to be a special evening. 🤩 Tickets are still available via our bio link or by contacting a member of our team.

It’s planting season! 🌽🫛🌽
Many of our families have been working hard planting crops such as maize, wheat, sorghum, potatoes, and trees.
Mary and Mary, pictured here, are two busy Mums who have been planting beans.

We are so proud of 18 year old, Jelagat, who recently graduated with a certificate in Food and Beverages Technology from college.
A big thank you to Callum & Irina in Scotland for sponsoring Jelegat through her education 📚
When GEF first met Jelegat and her family, her brother would sleep on a mud floor and the other 5 family members would share a broken single bed with a thin torn mattress.
In 2016 we were able to build a new 3 bedroom house 🏠 for them with a group of international volunteers. They are now thriving and growing multiple crops on their land. While the children are all in education with Jelagat setting a wonderful example to her siblings.
