Sarah's Rams in Kenya Trip
Fundraising for Derby County Community Trust
Story
Hi,
Through my work at Derby County Ladies I have
been given the opportunity to support Derby County Community Trust with their ‘Rams in Kenya’ project next year (May 2019). I have included more specific details about the project below.
On a personal note I am extremely passionate
about education, young people and empowering people to support themselves by giving them the appropriate tools and training. Football has given me so many opportunities and experiences and its fitting that this trip opportunity has come to me via football as I feel a huge sense of responsibility to share and give back as much as I can.
Every volunteer is tasked with raising the funds to cover flights, transfers, accommodation and three meals per day, plus a contribution towards the Community Trust’s programmes at home and the Kenyan school projects. This is where I need your help!
Companies and organisations can also sponsor me and
have their logo on my trip t-shirt!! For more details on this please email me. I'll be sharing all my sponsors details on social media (twitter, Facebook, Instagram) to say thank you and promote the business.
On our return to the UK Derby County Community Trust run a sponsors evening at the club where volunteers can invite their sponsors to say thank you and share the story of our work.
Many thanks for taking the time to
read this information. If you feel you can help in any way or have any
questions please get in touch.

Derby County Community Trust has been taking part in Rams in Kenya for the past seven years.
Since its first trip in 2012, the initiative has grown from 13 volunteers on the first visit to 73 on the latest.
Due to the amazing growth, the scheme now works with four partner projects. Across these projects the volunteers spend time building classrooms, providing resources, supporting teachers, and completing maintenance and site improvements.
This year, at the Jubilee project, a new secure library was built with enlarged windows to ensure a more comfortable learning environment, whilst all the classrooms and kitchen were repainted. As well as this, the foundations were dug for five new classrooms and books were supplied for all six of the year groups.
A block of seven toilets was also funded and work also begun on a new water tank that will allow the children to wash their hands properly.
Teaching and sports coaching was provided for the children and a brand new kitchen was built, including work surfaces, a sink, a clay oven, serving hatch and chimney.
Clothing, shoes and stationary were distributed to the children and a talk was delivered on female hygiene, with girls being provided with sanitary products.
The trip is facilitated by African Adventures. The trip benefits the Derby County Community Trust and also the impoverished areas around Nakura, in Kenya.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
