New desks for West End Destiny Kids Academy

With a new two story classroom block nearly completed at West End Destiny Kids Academy, in the slums of Nakuru, Kenya, we are hoping to raise the funds needed to furnish the classrooms with desks. This would enable more children access to education.

'Cherish the Children' was set up in 2019 after witnessing first hand the extreme poverty in which the children in the slums of Nakuru, Kenya live. We raise funds to build classrooms, support a feeding programme and to cover some of the every-day costs associated with running Cherish School.

Story

Volunteers have fundraised the cost of building a new two storey classroom block which has been being built for the last two years. We are now reaching a point of completion and new desks are needed for the students to be educated in the new classrooms.

We have costed how much this will be and it will cost £50 per desk. Education is incredibly important within impoverished areas as it is their only chance of getting out of their current living circumstances. Pupils attend West End Destiny Kids Academy six days per week and many staff give up their own Saturday unpaid to give these children the best start in life.

We would love to be able to provide 10 desks per classroom (20 in total). Thank you in advance for your kindness and support. We know that the student and Valentine, the director, will be so incredibly humbled by your help.
