Help us bring joy, freedom, and connection 🧡
In NE Scotland, too many disabled children face isolation and miss out on the joys of childhood that others may take for granted—playing outside, joining in activities, and spending quality time with family. At GEF, we believe every child deserves the chance to explore their world, have fun, and feel included. 🌎
Thanks to generous supporters, we’ve recently helped make a difference:
🚲 Three specialist trikes have been delivered to a family in Aberdeenshire, allowing two severely autistic brothers to be active and enjoy the outdoors alongside their sibling.
🦽 A lightweight wheelchair was provided to a 14-year-old boy with severe disabilities, helping him stay mobile and spend more time with his two younger siblings.
🐎 A little girl with Spina Bifida just completed her first block of hippotherapy sessions—horse-assisted therapy that builds strength and supports her ability to walk.
These are more than just services or equipment—they’re life-changing experiences that bring joy, independence, and togetherness.
💛 Your support can help us continue this work.
By donating to our Total Giving page and quoting ‘Scotland’, you’ll ensure your contribution goes directly to a child in need—providing essential equipment or specialist therapy that will transform their daily life.

Together, we can help children overcome barriers, connect with their communities, and feel the freedom to just be kids.

Benard unfortunately had a very difficult time when his mother passed away, aged 34, from a brain tumour. 5 days later their Grandmother passed away leaving Benard and his four siblings with no guardianship.
Their auntie had to quit her job in Nairobi to take care of the 5 children and move her 3 children to be with the children under one household. In September 2023 GEF built the family a house within the new GEF village enabling a huge change for them all with a chance of stability. 🏠
By sponsoring Benard’s education for £35 per month, you will be giving him the chance to attend and complete primary, secondary and tertiary education. 100% of your support will go towards his public-school fees, uniform, shoes, books, school meals and stationery. 📚
You will receive an end of year school performance and general update along with a photo from us and have the chance to meet him should you come on one of our Kenya House Building (next one 2026) trips to Kenya.

The power of a donation: Nelson’s Story 👨🏾🌾
In 2015, Nelson’s life changed forever when he fell from a tree while pruning branches to feed his cows. The accident broke his spine. In 2018, he was finally able to return home. However, as a result of his injuries, Nelson now uses a wheelchair for mobility. 🦽
Nelson has remained a dedicated father and a role model for his four children. In 2020, GEF began supporting his children’s education, ensuring they could continue learning and building a better future. 🌞
Nelson, a passionate farmer, continues to grow vegetables, maize, and a variety of fruits—even while facing challenges like limited access to clean water. Earlier this year, his family gained access to piped water, but without a storage tank, they couldn’t make the most of it. 🌽
Earlier this year, a generous donation from a family in central Scotland helped GEF provide Nelson with a water tank. The impact? Immediate. His crops are thriving, he’s earning income, and his family now has consistent access to fresh food and clean water. 💦
Whenever our team visits, Nelson greets us with a warm smile and deep gratitude. His resilience and optimism are a true testament to the power of a single donation.
Thank you for making stories like Nelson’s possible. 🙏🏻

Shelter and Security 🌞📚🔐
They should go hand in hand!
Every child deserves a safe, watertight home, a comfortable bed, access to clean water, and the space and furniture necessary for studying. These aren’t luxuries, they are fundamental to a child’s well-being and future success. 🧡
Every contribution is lighting up lives, creating safer spaces, and giving students the tools they need to succeed. This is more than just equipment—it’s a brighter future in the making thanks to the generosity of donations. 🫶🏼
