D e l i v e r y 📦
David & Janet took delivery of the 2025 school supplies a couple of weeks ago. The boxes included notebooks, text books, dictionaries, story books and writing materials 🖊️
The supplies cover the next two terms of this year’s education calendar and are distributed to over 100 children supported in the Iten area.🤩
Sponsoring a child through GEF enables us to provide these school necessities as part of our scholarship.
Thank you to all our child sponsors and donors who enable us to gift these 🙏🏻

No Blue Monday here! 🩵 We start our week off as we have our year, with the opportunity to reflect and celebrate the past 12 months.
What better way to do that, than to share the kind words from one of our supporters; Michael and his wife, Laura, have sponsored children through GEF for the past 7 years.
We appreciate everyone’s Google and Trustpilot reviews, which help to grow our audience. This introduces more people and businesses to GEF and the work we do through north-east Scotland and Kenya. In turn we can expand our services to more children and families in need of our support, be that in education, housing, wellbeing, specialist equipment or food and farming. We would be grateful to our supporters if you could spare a few minutes to leave us a review 🧡

Last month we had a visit from Becky Lyne and her group from the Gracefull Running training.
As part of their Kenyan adventure, they spent an afternoon with our Iten team at our office where they had the opportunity to make their own beaded bracelets.
They then visited some of the families we support to see first hand how their generous donations will support kids in Iten.

Our team value the connections our child sponsorship program creates and our extremely proud of the positive feedback we continue to receive from new and long-standing supporters. 🫶🏼
When you sponsor a child through GEF, every penny of your contributions goes towards that child’s education, which includes the cost of primary, secondary and tertiary fees, uniform, school bag, shoes, school meals, stationery, books (and menstrual care products for girls) means that the child you sponsor can attend school without fear of being sent home. 📚
As a sponsor you will receive an introduction letter, an annual report each January which includes up to date information on the child, their academic progress, what they have been up to, a photograph and any other relevant information. For sponsors who enjoy and have the time to commit to writing, and if the child you support is comfortable and able to write, we will ensure that you receive a reply in May of each year. ✍️
Here David has been helping 5 year old Joy write her introduction letter to her new sponsor in Switzerland. Thanks to Sebastian, Joy started primary school this month 🧡

Last month Samuel graduated university with a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism & Media Studies. 👨🏾🎓
Despite Samuel’s challenging circumstances growing up, he continued to work hard in school and followed his dreams. When we first met Samuel both parents had left him, leaving him under the care of his grandmother who struggled day to day to afford his education and their basic needs.
With the support of Moira, a lady living in north east Scotland, he received the financial support through GEF’s sponsor a child program to attend, thrive and complete his education. 📚
Samuel is amongst the 72 graduates GEF have supported in the past 10 years since the charity was established. With 14 students on the path to joining college or university this summer, we are incredibly grateful to all our child sponsors for helping these children and young adults follow their dreams. 🤩
