🌍✨ Happy New Year from GEF! ✨🌍

These photos capture two places close to our hearts, and the very different starts to the year our teams are experiencing.

📍 Iten, Kenya – enjoying sunshine and warmth at 24°C, our team is busy supporting students as they return to school, delivering uniforms and textbooks and paying school fees.
📍 Aberdeen, north-east Scotland – facing below 0°C temperatures and 17 inches of snow ❄️, our team continues their fundraising and support work while navigating unprecedented weather challenges.

Different climates, different challenges, but the same commitment to supporting children, their families and our communities.

Thank you to all our supporters for making this work possible. We’re grateful for another year together to create lasting changes 🧡

The gift of a proper night’s sleep 😴🛏️

A huge thank you to Luca from Switzerland🇨🇭, who kindly “Gifted a Bed” from our online shop after visiting Iten and meeting our ever-smiling David Sagida 😊. David shared some of our projects with him, and clearly left a lasting impression.

Luca even included a heartfelt message in his order, which brought big smiles to our team:
“David, you inspire me – thanks for the visit you organized!” 💛

Thanks to Luca and David, Charity and her parents now have proper beds and warm blankets to sleep on — comfort and dignity restored 🙏✨

✨ New Year, New Challenge — Join 2026 in 2026! ✨

As we enjoy the festive break and look ahead to 2026, we’re thrilled to launch GEF’s 2026 in 2026 challenge! 🎉

📍 The idea is simple: choose a goal of 2,026 kilometres or 2,026 miles in 2026 — or set your own movement target if that feels more you. Whether you walk, run, cycle, swim, or log steps on your daily adventures, every move counts! 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏊‍♂️👣

But this isn’t just about fitness — it’s about making a real difference. By taking part, you’ll be helping children and families supported by GEF through education, shelter and wellbeing programmes in Kenya and north-east Scotland. 🌍

🙌 How to join:
✔ Set your personal distance (or go big with 2026!)
✔ Track your progress all year long
✔ Fundraise or support our cause if you can

Let’s move together, motivate each other, and make an impact throughout 2026! 💫

👉 Ready to take the challenge? Join our ‘GEF’s 2026 in 2026 Challenge’ Strava club and find out how to get involved.
