As part of our mission we aim to give children a safe place of shelter so that they can get the full benefit of their education. We do this through either building new or improving existing homes.

Thanks to generous donations last month the team in Iten, Kenya were able to carry out some maintenance work at our GEF village of 8 houses in Kiptabus.

The houses we build support low income families who are struggling to provide their children with basic needs.

Thank you to all who have helped us build 61 houses since 2014 🧡

We recently shared with one of our child sponsors the wonderful news that two of their sponsor children, brothers Abel and Wesley completed their education. Abel qualified in motor vehicle technology, while Wesley finished a building technology course. 🚘🧱

To mark the occasion and send their congratulations, they donated money to enable us to purchase the boy’s gifts. Both boys welcomed the opportunity to receive technical tools appropriate to their newly qualified trade. These tools will play a pivotal role towards their future success and provides a great start as they begin their careers.🛠️

A huge thank you to the Lockies in Glasgow for their support over the years, without your sponsorship Abel and Wesley’s family would not have been able to afford the school fees to get a college or high school education. 🙏🏻

As part of our 12 Days 12 Futures campaign, we have four young children looking for sponsors to enable them to go back to school in January. We would be grateful to anyone who can share this post to help us reach a bigger audience or if you would be interested in sponsoring a child you can read the stories of Wendy, Whitney, Samuel and Abigael J on our website via the link in the comments below 🔗

Wow, what a year it’s been for our work in Scotland!

2024 has seen us receive more applications than ever before, which means we’ve been able to support more families than ever too. From specialist toys to adaptive equipment, from flooring solutions to bikes, we’ve funded a wide range of items to help improve the lives of children with disabilities in north east Scotland.

Every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential, and thanks to your incredible support, we’ve been able to make a real difference this year—helping children achieve their goals and shine bright.

We are very excited about what's in store in 2025 as this side of our charity continues to grow. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us continue to create positive change for so many families. Here’s to another impactful year ahead.

We are very grateful to everyone who has been leaving us Google reviews recently, your opinions of us play a big part in our growth and are enabling us to reach a wider audience.

Two months ago, we received this one from Andrew Smith, a child sponsor who has supported GEF for 10 years 🙏🏻 Andrew not only do we thank you for the kind words but we can’t thank you enough for the various support and encouragement over the past decade.

By growing our audience, more people and businesses are introduced 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 GEF a Google review 🧡
