Thanks to donations over the festive period, six children have been able to join school this month, having previously been on our waiting list for support. In the coming weeks and months we will be trying to find a sponsor for them so that they can remain in school longer term.

Thanks to Scott for sending us this picture when he received his latest GEF clothes order last week 😁

Can you help 14 year old David stay in school beyond this month?

Until recently David's father, Charles was employed as a herdsman for 15 years on a farm where their family also lived. Unfortunately, his employer decided to move back into the property and so evicted the family whilst also releasing Charles from his job. This left the family with nowhere to live other than their own plot of land which had no shelter.

This resulted in the community fundraising and building them a small house. GEF's Gideon and Kevin supported the effort and were amazed by the goodwill on show from many people including the local MCA (Member of County Assembly). They are now safe in terms of shelter and in December we were able to provide them with 5 single beds. However, the children face a bleak future without education due to their lack of income.

Thanks to donations we were this month able to pay David's school fees for January, along with the fees of 5 other children on our waiting list for support. With the support of a monthly sponsor, we would be able to ensure that David is not sent home from school in February, is provided with books, uniform and shoes and has the chance to complete his education.

If you are interested in sponsoring David please email us at info@gathimbaedwardsfoundation.org

Evans and Eugene were regularly going days without food when we first met them 2 years ago. We will never forget how excited they were to eat a few slices of bread which we had brought.

The brothers had also never been to school but last week were able to join their local primary school. They were quite possibly the most excited children we have seen going into a class room for the first time! This was made possible thanks to their new sponsors, families based in Dubai & Singapore.

The power of sponsoring a child is life changing. Evans and Eugene’s situation shows that these connections can form from anywhere in the world.

We are proud to have sponsors in the UK, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, Ireland, USA, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Brazil, and now Dubai and Singapore too.
If you would like to sponsor a child please do get in touch.
