Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

By sponsoring my self-financed Himalayan trek in March/April 2017 you will be helping to enable many Kenyan children to go to school every day instead of working, begging or scavenging for food on the street. This is achieved through the schemes PORRIDGE CLUBS and EDUCATION ALL MONTH, EVERY MONTH.

Through Watoto Kwanza, our Kenyan NGO partner, we provide porridge to ten schools in the Thika region so that over 2,000 children can avoid working, begging or scavenging for food. Instead, they are able to attend school where they receive a meal of porridge each day. A mug of porridge costs just 7p, so every donation goes a long way.

Education All Month, Every Month empowers girls by addressing the regular and continual absence from class for 5 to 7 days every month due to their menstrual cycle. Few families can afford to buy sanitary towels for them.  Watoto Kwanza project provides 400 girls with sanitary towels and each receives five pairs of locally sourced underwear each year. A monthly health & social education programme is also in place so that girls know what to expect during puberty.

Thank you very much for donating and helping many disadvantaged children of Africa.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.
