Many families in Kenya, particularly in the Turkana region, struggle with food insecurity due to frequent droughts and unpredictable weather. 🌤
Where farming support is not feasible, we provide families with monthly food assistance to help them navigate a variety of challenging circumstances. 🌾
Our Meals with Meaning restaurant initiative is also playing a crucial role in making some of this support possible. Each time a customer dines at one of our partner restaurants, one of the impacts they enable is a meal being provided to a child in Kenya. This is achieved through a voluntary 50p or £1 addition to each bill, with restaurants matching the donations.

From missing school to graduating college 🎓💪
Ephraim was once a boy who often stayed home from school because his family couldn’t afford fees. Today, he’s a proud college graduate with a Certificate in Business Management.
Years ago, Ephraim, his brother and their mother were forced to leave their home and from then on, they faced challenges trying to survive. Despite finding some work, their mother was mistreated and made to carry heavy loads that ultimately broke her hip. With no money for treatment, she continued to work through the pain. They often went hungry, and the boys missed school days due to no money for fees.
In 2019 GEF were able to build the family a home through a volunteer house building project and thanks to a Ephraim's sponsors Tracey & Chris, life turned around. In 2021 his mother began farming, selling cabbages, and raising animals. Now, the family has a stable home, water access, and a college graduate for his younger brother to look up too. 🌟
Ephraim's graduation is proof that sponsorship really does change lives. 💛

Westdyke Football Club donates kits to help children in need
Westdyke Community Club, one of the largest grassroots football clubs in the North-east, has partnered with the Gathimba Edwards Foundation (GEF) to support disadvantaged children, not just locally, but across the globe.
We thought Professor John J.R. Macleod was kind of a big deal...
So he gets a race medal in advance 😉
Entries close this Friday the 24th April if you want to take part in either the adults 5k race or kid's 1k race on the 18th of May at the beautiful Duthie Park in Aberdeen.

Meet Elvis, he's now in Primary 2, but he almost didn’t make it this far.
Due to the inconsistency attending school, Elvis had to repeat nursery after falling behind in the syllabus. Teachers felt he wasn't ready for primary education. 😔
His family previously lived on the side of a road for 11 years, six children and their mother in one hut, with their older sibling sleeping in a similar structure nearby. Before that, they lived in the forest until being evicted and placed on a waiting list for government housing. When their turn finally came… the land was given to someone else.
They were living in desperate and dangerous conditions until GEF was able to help by building a safe house and the family now live in a safe and happier home.
Life has changed for the better, but Elvis still needs one more thing to really thrive: consistent education. 📚
Through our Sponsor A Child programme, you can help Elvis stay in school and give him the chance he deserves to build a brighter future. 🧡
