Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my page, I hope when reading about the amazing work that Tushinde is doing, you'll understand why I jumped at the opportunity to help raise funds for such a worthwhile cause.

Tushinde is a charity that supports over 500 of the most vulnerable children residing the the shanty towns between Mathare and Kiambiu, in Kenya. They provide a unique case management system, of social protection, free education and psychological support to children from extremely poor families. This is achieved through school sponsorship, family support programs and day care centres that grant a safety net to children facing family crisis through bereavement and mental health issues, that are otherwise left to fend for themselves. More details of how then charity started and the work they are currently doing can be found in the link below.
