Hot meals for Cherish Children

We are hoping to buy a large stove (£900) and get the purpose built kitchen set up and working, to provide 100+ meals each day for the children at Cherish. Any additional funds raised will be used fit work surfaces and other essential equipment

'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

Cherish school is a relatively new school, providing a safe haven for the poorest children living in the slums of Nakuru, Kenya. The majority of the children do not have the support of parents or family and can often be looked after by siblings or other relatives.

The daily meals provided by Cherish school are essential, often their only source of food.

Our cook who provides the meals has to work extremely hard in a smoke filled shelter with limited space, and equipment.

A purpose built kitchen was completed last year and the dining room is adjacent to this. We are hoping to buy the stove and purchase the additional equipment needed to support the cook and improve the meals provided. The £900 target will cover the cost and installation of the cooker. Any additional funds raised will be used to purchase tables and other equipment for the kitchen.
