Story
The informal settlements of Nairobi are going to be hard hit by Covid-19. The government has introduced early stage shut down to prevent the spread. All schools are closed and public gatherings banned. This is a serious concern for the vulnerable children we work with: ones where our social workers have worked hard to get them back into school which is a place of safety and a guaranteed lunch. Now they are on the streets, out of necessity, abandoned by the parents who are desperately searching for work. With everywhere shut, there is no work and these parents are coming home penniless to hungry kids.
£100 can help us use our network of community health volunteers and team of dedicated social workers to ensure vulnerable children stay safe through funding phone credit and transport . We can check in every day with children from 'difficult' families and follow up any concerns. We can continue to support parents to make the best decisions for their children and follow up new referrals of vulnerable children. At the same time your gift will ensure our staff are safe and protected with safer travel options, access to protective clothing and materials (where available)
£50 can fund access to emergency healthcare for a child or carer in need.
£20 can buy a food parcel for a family who have lost all their income.
£15 can provide an emergency rent payments for a family about to be evicted.
With your donation, we can help parents to make the best decisions for their children and follow up new referrals of vulnerable children. Our mission is to ensure that no child slips through the net due to the complexity of their case. These coming months are going to test us. With your help we can keep our promise to these kids.
