02 Activities

What the charity does

The project has been set up to help the poor people in Kenya overcome their suffering endured due to a lack of life's basic necessities. We organise fund-raising events and the money raised helps with all of our activities. In the long term we want to ensure that individuals develop the skills necessary to generate an income so that they can become independent and break the cycle of poverty.
