Story
Miss Denyer, Mr Coy and Miss Humphreys are running the London Big Half in support of Friends of Kipkelion, our school linked charity. The money we raise will be spent on running educational courses for young people in Kipkelion. The courses are designed to help young people, in particular those with disabilities, start their own business. Many young people in Kipkelion can’t find a job when they leave school, and those with disabilities are not able to take part in the heavy farm work which dominate the local economy. The courses show people how they can earn money through activities such as bee keeping, breeding chickens, mending shoes and they are taught how to make a simple business plan and budget, and then provided with the basic items they need to get going – e.g. a bee hive or some tools. These educational courses are really popular and each course costs £475 and 15 young people can take part. Thank you so much for all your support!
