Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are helping to raise funds for the cost of physiotherapy treatment for the pupils of Gilgil Special School and Kivuli Hostels in Kenya. Former pupils and parents of New House fundraised to build a physiotherapy room for these children. The Head Physiotherapist from Gilgil Hospital visits twice a week to treat the children and teach the staff exercises to help increase mobility. 

In October, a group of New House girls will be visiting Gilgil, meeting the children and physiotherapist and spending time in the school and hostels. 

Our former Housemistress, Marianne visited Kenya regularly and was a huge supporter of the school and Kivuli. The physiotherapy room is named after her in her memory.

About the charity

Kivuli Trust

Kivuli Trust (‘kivuli’ meaning shelter in Kiswahili) builds hostels and classrooms on the premises of existing schools in East Africa specifically for children with physical and mental disabilities. Our projects allow for small class sizes where these children will be given the attention that they deserve. The hostels negate the need for long daily journeys to and from the schools and provides the children with a more stable learning environment. Most importantly our projects allow for integration with other school children which provides invaluable disability awareness and understanding at a young age that can then filter back into the wider community.
