In Kenya when you sponsor a child, a little can go a long way.

£35 per month fully supports the education of a child.

Covering the cost of primary, secondary and tertiary fees, uniform, school bag, shoes, school meals, stationery, books (and menstrual care products for girls) means that the child you sponsor can attend school without fear of being sent home.

Through separate donations and fundraising, alongside your sponsorship we strive to improve living conditions, provide food and farming support and give children and their families access to psychosocial support.

The friendships made through this scheme are life long and the change being made is tangible. You will get back more than you give!

As a sponsor you will receive an annual report each January which includes up to date information on the child, their academic progress, what they have been up to, a photograph and any other relevant information. For sponsors who enjoy and have the time to commit to letter/email writing, and if the child you support is comfortable and able to write, we will ensure that you receive a reply letter in May of each year in addition to the January report. In some cases there may be able to be a more regular flow of letters but this depends on the child's location and whether they are in a day or boarding school.

But most importantly for £35 per month (£1.16 per day) you can give a kid in Kenya a chance they might not otherwise have.
