Jengana, which means ‘building each other’, works in Kenya to make a difference in the lives of individuals who live in extreme poverty, mainly street kids, orphans and slum dwellers. Teams go regularly to work amongst the needy, a life changing experience for all.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I have been given the opportunity to be part of a team, travelling to Kenya this Summer for 3 weeks with the charity Jengana. We will be working within 2 of Nairobi's slums: Kibera and Mukuru. We will be primarily helping in the slum schools educating orphans as well as operating a feeding clinic for these children. We will also provide home visits to those who live in extreme poverty; some of whom are living with HIV/ AIDS, run a health awareness clinic and complete maintenance work on the school and clinic. This will be a jam packed 3 weeks but I believe the experience will be&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">unforgettable</span>.</p> <p><em>Every penny really does help</em> when it's all added up, so please take the time to think about helping those who are less fortunate than us and require help. The money raised here will help with the feeding and health clinics allowing more children to be looked after. This is extremely important as so many people have HIV/ AIDS and are living in extreme poverty. Families do not have enough to feed their own children and it's only us that can do something about it. So please give up that extra chocolate bar or drink a week and donate; remember everything does add up and small things <strong>do</strong> make a difference.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thank-you</p>
