~🌟 Children helping and inspiring each other 🌟~
We are proud to have been working in partnership with Hazlehead Primary School to make a positive impact in Kenya and Scotland through connection, inspiration, learning and fundraising.
Their Global Group have been learning about GEF and the UNCRC, and how they are both linked to the school’s values.
They kindly arranged a ‘Wear Orange Day’ which saw pupils bring along £1-2 as a donation to GEF. They raised an incredible £544! 🤩
Myles was delighted to visit the school before the holidays to let them know that the money is going to fund the primary school education of Stanley and Hebson in Kenya for a whole year. He also shared his learnings from his school days, time in Kenya and running the charity over the past 10 years. He covered the importance of following what you are passionate about, not feeling pressure to know exactly which career you want to pursue, saying ‘yes’ to opportunities, kindness, and surrounding yourself with positive people who build you up.
Thank you to the Hazlehead pupils, parents and staff for the incredible support and belief over the years! 🥰

Meet Joan, a future doctor if she can follow her dreams 🌟
Until recently, Joan, 5 siblings and their parents lived in conditions so poor they struggled to sleep and often had to ask neighbors for a place to rest. With their mother relying on inconsistent work, the family faced endless financial stress, with school fees out of reach.
The cycle was ending for the family and draining, both mentally and financially. However, their story had a new chapter. 🏡
Last year the family received a new house built by GEF which now means they are together and able to sleep in a safe place. In turn, Joan’s performance in school has greatly improved and she now has a place to study💡
To enable Joan access to uninterrupted education we hope to find a sponsor to support her dreams and ambitions of becoming a doctor. 🥼🩺
By sponsoring Joan’s education for £35 per month, you will be giving her the chance to attend and complete secondary and tertiary education. 100% of your support will go towards her public-school fees, uniform, shoes, books, school meals, stationery and menstrual care products when required.

Six children. A crumbling mud house. A roof that leaked every time it rained. 🥺
We first learned about this family when their story was shared on social media. Their community had rallied to build them a new home, one that would protect their children from the harsh conditions of their inadequate mud structure. Unfortunately, the funds ran out before construction could be completed, leaving them still exposed to leaking roofs and unsafe living conditions.
Thanks to a generous supporter in Aberdeen and their employer’s matched funding, we were able to complete their stone house, furnish it, and provide bedding to ensure this family has a safe and stable place to call home. 🏡
Two of the children, Elvis and Aryan, are now thriving in primary school through GEF’s Sponsor a Child programme. To support their education, we provided a study desk for all the children and installed solar panels, allowing them to do their homework even after sunset.
At GEF, we believe education, shelter, and well-being go hand in hand; because every child deserves a chance to grow, learn, and reach their potential in a safe environment.
Thank you to our incredible supporters for making this possible! 💛

Two years ago, Albert had all but given up hope. He thought the idea of completing even his first year of secondary school felt out of reach, let alone all four years. But now, he is thriving in form 3 and making significant improvement in his education. 📚🎉
In his first year, Albert was struggling to keep up with school fees and his family fell into debt, meaning he was regularly sent home. However, thanks to a one-off donation from Julian, we were able to clear his school arrears and help get him back into the classroom regularly.
Thank you, Julian, for your kind words. It is a privilege for us to be able to show first hand where individual donations go; because every act of kindness creates a ripple effect. 🧡

At the start of the year, we were incredibly fortunate to receive a very generous donation from SCG Solutions helping us support families across north east Scotland who are caring for a child with a disability. 🏴
These funds have already made a life-changing difference. 🥰
Many of the applications we receive are for essential equipment—such as specialist wheelchairs and trikes—that enable families to enjoy the outdoors together, and make precious memories. Since January, we have been able to purchase a lightweight specialist wheelchair and three trikes. We are also processing applications for various other specialist equipment and therapies that will support and enable disabled children and their families in north east Scotland to live life to the fullest.
Beyond the financial support, SCG Solutions has also offered to help families access technology that supports communication and learning needs. This kind of wholehearted commitment means we can say “yes” to more families, and help provide the tools the children need to thrive. 🧡
A huge THANK YOU to SCG Solutions for your generosity and belief in what we do. You are putting lots of smiles on faces! ☺️
