Its hard to know how much is spent on average per child in the UK at Christmas. Figures quoted on Mumsnet from 2018 suggested it is a little over £300. According to the Daily Mirror, nearly a quarter of parents are planning to splash out between £250 and £500per childon presents this(2017) Christmas. Some other sources show that those who are most well-off spent over £1,000 per child. The children supported by Educate the kids in Kenya will not be receiving lavish gifts, but we do try and make it as special as we can. We are fundraising to provide a food parcel for each family, to ensure they have food over the festive period.
