We release children from poverty to fulfil their God given potential.

Story

My wife and I have sponsored young people in Kenya via Compassion UK over the last 10 - 15 years and have seen their lives transformed through the support the Charity has given educationally, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

Having visited the Projects in April 2019, having first been out there in 2008, it was great to meet the families and young people again and see the development they have made, with many born into subsistence farming environments and now attending University, College or learning vocational skills and ready to give back to their communities, which is amazing!

There is still a lot of need and hopefully by raising these funds to build 3 new Classrooms in one of the Projects, it will provide a better learning opportunity for these young people and help transform their lives in the future!
