Welcome to Karibuni Children!
Karibuni Children is a UK Registered Charity. We aim to raise awareness about the plight of children living on the streets and in the slums in areas of urban and rural poverty in Kenya; and to raise money to support projects to meet their needs.
We are conscious of the importance of tight governance, so Trustees visit all our largest projects annually; we require annual budgets and regular reporting throughout the year; we have a local representative who works with the projects throughout the year.

This is because many of the people that used to give them those jobs are now at home or are working from home and therefore doing their domestic chores […]
Can you do the maths?
For any one child currently, from age 3 at nursery, to the end of tertiary education around 19 years later, the costs mount up.
