Story

For the past four years, the HSK family has been sending Christmas shoeboxes out to Kenya, creating thousands of smiles and happy children.

Unfortunately due to Covid-19 handling restrictions, we are unable to send the boxes this year.

But dont despair!

We have come up we a new plan to ensure we can bring the same smiles and joy this Christmas.

We have approximately 250 families and the plan is to create a Christmas gift box for each one, full of some goodies for all the family to enjoy.

These have to be purchased and put together in Kenya, so we need your help to pledge a donation and help fill these very vital little boxes.

We know that we are all struggling with the changes that 2020 has bought, but imagine living in a country where there is no benefit system, no furlough, grants, or loans to help people get by. Whilst the number of infections is low in Kenya, the impact on peoples lives has been far greater.

So, to help bring some joy to the families we support, we have asked local businesses in Kenya to donate some items and we need your help to fill the rest.
