Testimonials
It's great fun working with GEF and I get a real buzz when I receive letters and messages from John. It's been so satisfying to see him making great progress with his education.
I'm very proud of him.
ANDREW SMITH
In our experience, GEF are absolutely trustworthy and work with 100% integrity. We know Myles, Gideon and the rest of the team personally, and we can see directly the impact that the sponsorship money makes.
In almost 10 years of partnership we've had nothing but positive experiences. If you want to do something truly impactful, then I would strongly recommend supporting Gathimba Edwards Foundation.
GAVIN SMITH
The Gathimba Edwards Foundation plays a vital role in supporting children and young people in Kenya and carries out some amazing work in helping those who are less fortunate.
We have now supported three school children in Kenya gain education and the feedback heard back has been hugely positive and what we like to think of as life-changing.

We are forever grateful for the work GEF provides, if it wasn’t for them Tyler wouldn’t have got a lot of the specialist equipment he has needed over the years! His electric chair for one has been a god send since his major operation in July last year!
If he didn’t have that he’d have faced over a year with no independence.

A key decision in supporting charity is how the funds will be used. Larger charities have large overheads and often a donation is a drop in the ocean. What we love about GEF is the ability to know almost exactly what a donation is being used for – individual families and children with needs that stretch far beyond the norm.
Raising a family is difficult – even with favourable conditions. I cannot imagine what life is like when the needs are so acute, and all extra resource and attention from the parents are already fully used, but the state just isn’t there to plug the gap. I’m so glad we have abundance to share to make other lives better in our local community!

I wouldn’t miss a GEF volunteering opportunity for the world - it’s one of my all time favorite things to do! At every single event…you get the warmest welcome and are surrounded by the kindest people which is the best feeling ever. To be able to be a small part of the events are an honour and a privilege.
I’m so grateful to have these opportunities to give a little back knowing that you’re helping give kids in Kenya and the UK that precious help that makes their lives a little bit easier. I plan to volunteer for as long as I can!!!

The support from GEF has been amazing and really made life easier for the whole family. The specialist buggy's have given us our life back and given my other daughter the life she deserves. I will be forever grateful.
