Story
Back in 1996, I travelled to Kenya to celebrate my 40th birthday. That single visit changed my life forever—and began my 30-year journey of supporting this incredible school.Ever since that pivotal trip, I have stood by this UK charity as it provided a trusted, high-quality education to vulnerable children. Over three decades, I have watched proudly as the school supported 900 graduates, helping them break the cycle of poverty and change their local communities.Now, 30 years on, the school we love is facing a deeply challenging moment.To protect the 260 pupils currently in our care from legal closure, the charity recently had to invest heavily in urgent, government-mandated safety and curriculum upgrades. While the hard work to secure our students' legal future is successfully done, these essential costs have left our financial reserves at an all-time low, putting the charity in a very vulnerable position.Without a financial cushion, our day-to-day operations are exposed to any unexpected cost or utility increase.We chose to prioritize our children’s safety, and now we need to rebuild our foundations so we can keep running smoothly through 2027 and beyond. Our core running costs—including teacher wages, utilities, and essential fees—come to £1,790 each month.When divided across our school community, it takes surprisingly little per child to restore our security and keep us moving forward.💡 Every single pound makes a difference:£10 completely covers the monthly operational costs, wages, and emergency running buffer for one student.£20 secures everything needed to keep two students learning, safe, and protected for a full month.£40 fully sponsors the monthly running costs and school utilities for a study group of four children.Whether you choose a one-off gift or set up a regular monthly donation, every single contribution goes directly toward stabilizing our school. No gift is too small to make a lasting difference.Thank you for standing by these students, and for joining me in protecting a cause that has been close to my heart since 1996. Asante sana!
