From every £1 of income we receive around 90 pence goes directly towards helping the children we support in Kenya.

Christmas Challenge
We thank all those who took part in our last Christmas Challenge appeal. We are pleased to say that we were successful in reaching our target which will mean that we will be able to transform even more young lives in Kenya.
