We Support Upendo Orphans in Kenya to reduce the stigma of HIV

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Upendo is an orphan support charity in kilifi, Kenya. They provide education, food and health care. Upendo currently has 56 children in their care plus they provide schooling for other local children.  Due to the growing demand for schooling, they now need a new classroom to provide junior education on top of the nursery and infant education already in place.

So the skydive was a complete success!! On saturday 18/7 Beth and I finally, after 2 failed attempts due to weather, ascended to 13000ft attached to our trusted instructors. At altitude we shuffled to the edge of the plane, appreciated how high we actually were before jumping out! 

We are hugely grateful for any help you can give us! And a massive thank you from Beth and Barney to everyone that supports us.

We support upendo orphan support project, a grassroots project in Kilifi Town in coastal Kenya. In 2002, while living in the area, our 3 founding trustees met an incredible group of local women, supporting orphans out of their own pocket. Orphans live with guardians, but come to the support centre for education, meals and counselling.
