From every £1 of income we receive around 90 pence goes directly towards helping the children we support in Kenya.
Karibuni has one paid member of staff and several hard working volunteers in the UK so apart from a modest amount spent on office expenses, all the money raised and donated is used to support the work in the projects.

During this period donations totalling £5000 were matched pound for pound by pledges already made by an existing group of supporters.

The British 10K follows a route through the centre of London, including Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square and The Strand. It was a very warm Sunday in July and after the run participants met up with Karibuni Trustees for drinks and to receive certificates from Karibuni. The photographs show some of the runners, which included a strong Kenyan contingent. We’ll need even more runners next year if we’re to beat the amount raised this year and continue to make a […]
LATEST! Rowan Purrett, aged twelve, Peak to Peak fundraiser – 67 out of 79 done!
One of the most unusual and demanding ongoing fund raising events is Peak a Week. Rowan Purrett, aged twelve, lives on Skye.

His plan is to complete the challenge by climbing Ben Nevis (4,400 feet) on 24th March 2019 when he will probably need to use crampons for the final ascent. The end is almost in sight and […]
