Story
Fundraising in School has been tough since March, with our usual Tasty Tuesday Bacon Rolls and Pop Up Cafés which have been so successful having to be scaled back. Meanwhile, our young friends in Kenya have been coping with the daily struggle, made even more challenging by the pandemic. We continue to support the orphans at Kenya Childrens Home, the amazing Maasai girls at the Soila Rescue School in Suswa, our 40 children in the Mashimoni District of the Kibera Slum and our young entrepreneurs setting up their own micro-businesses. It is all about empowering young people to help themselves and their community. Most recently we have supported a group of girls in Kilifi by providing sanitary products and educational input which allows them to stay in school and avoid further disadvantage and ridicule. We will also put a 15 year old boy called Javis back into school from January. Javis has a physical condition which means he walks on his knees. He lives with his Gran and there is no money for school. He is desperate to be in class and to have the opportunity to spend time socialising like all young people should. Strah Kenya will make that happen.
