My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. All money is going directly to GVI to support the Orphanage in Kenya which I volunteered at over Christmas and January in 2011 and will be returning in 2012.
Bombolulu, is Mombasa's largest slum, or informal settlement, with no access to clean water, healthcare or road access. The environment is characterised by poverty and immorality, manifested in the high prevelance of HIV / AIDS, crime, prostitution and illiteracy.
Your money will aid these under-privileged children with free education, and critically, lunch - hunger is one of the most common reasons children fail to attend government schools. In a holistic approach the centre offers counselling to children from broken or abusive homes or who are orphaned, as well as to parents. Entirely reliant on independent donors to rent small, basic classrooms, and volunteer teachers, the centre achieves remarkable results - children sponsored to go onto private mainstream education are typically within the top 10% of their class. The orphanage was set up as a charity to care for HIV / AIDS orphans, often abandoned as young babies. Children receive a secure homelife, education and medical care. This project delivers opportunities to children from disrupted homelives, supporting health and social awareness in an area with high HIV prevalence, prostitution and drug abuse, and limited access to healthcare. Volunteers not only make a direct contribution caring for and educating the children but increase the capacity of the centres to improve facilities, programmes and funding.
