Supporting Families Through Food Assistance and Donations 🥣
To support the wellbeing of children and their families we offer various resources including counselling, seminars, farming, and food programs.🌾
Where farming support is not feasible, we provide families with monthly food assistance to help them navigate a variety of challenging circumstances. These include situations where older siblings must care for and feed younger children due to the absence of a parent or guardian, families and Cheerful Children’s Home caring for children with disabilities, and families affected by HIV, for whom we provide specific nutritious foods to support their immune systems.
Whether it’s a one-time gift, a monthly donation, workplace giving, or leaving a legacy, every contribution makes a meaningful impact. 🧡

🌍 Partner Spotlight: Kenya Experience 🏃♀️
GEF’s support community stretches across the globe, and right at the heart of our work in Iten, Kenya, we’re proud to have the ongoing support of Kenya Experience - a world-renowned high-altitude running training camp.
Kenya Experience supports GEF in multiple meaningful ways. A portion of each guest’s training fee is donated directly to our work, helping us deliver impact where it matters most. As a token of thanks, we gift every guest a handmade GEF bracelet, and they’re invited to spend a morning visiting local families supported by us; offering them a first-hand look at how donations make a real difference. 🧡
Their support strengthens all three pillars of our work: wellbeing, shelter, and education. Under education, Kenya Experience currently funds the school journeys of two young women.
🎓 Irene, 21, now in her second year of college studying Nutrition & Dietetics
📚 Faith, 18, who will begin her studies at Teachers College this September
This partnership is a wonderful example of how global collaboration fuels local impact. We’re truly privileged to work alongside the team at Kenya Experience. 🙌

Joan still needs your help to reach her dream of becoming a doctor 🌟
At just 10 years old, Joan is currently in Primary 4 and already dreaming big 🩺
Not long ago, Joan and her family were living in such difficult conditions that they often had to rely on neighbors for a place to sleep. With six children and an unstable income, school was simply out of reach. The stress was never-ending for the family; draining, both mentally and financially.
That began to change when the family received a new home through GEF last year 🏡 — a safe space that gave Joan the stability to thrive. Since then, her performance in school has soared, and she finally has a place to study.
But Joan still needs a sponsor to continue her education without interruption. 100% of your £35 a month support will go towards her public-school fees, uniform, shoes, books, school meals, stationery and menstrual care products when required. Giving her the chance to stay in school and work towards a brighter future.

🎓 Graduation Success! 👨🏾🎓
In December 2024, Samuel proudly walked across the stage at Moi University, graduating with a degree in Journalism and celebrating the moment with his beloved Granny by his side. 🧡
Fast forward six months, and Samuel is now thriving in a full-time paid placement at Story Moja Publishing House in Nairobi. His 10-month role is already showing promise, with a potential 18-month renewal on the horizon.
In a recent email to our team, Samuel shared:
“I cannot even describe everything I’ve learnt. It has been one month and already we handled characterisation, story graphs and plotting. I am finally understanding what it means to paint with words.”
From the classroom to the newsroom, Samuel’s journey is just beginning and it’s a powerful reminder that sponsoring a child’s education doesn’t just change their school experience. It opens doors, creates lasting opportunities, and shapes a brighter future.
