A special thank you!
MySchool - thank you!
We'd like to give a huge shout out to school management system, MySchool.
We are incredibly grateful for supporting us with a database and school management system. You are amazing!
From Primary School to College or University
We help desperately poor youngsters grow strong and stand tall.
We are an education charity working in the slums of Nairobi. We build schools and other infrastructure and sponsor children through primary, secondary and college education. Then we work to help them find employment.
From just 30 euros per month, a child can be clothed, fed and go to Primary School. In addition to becoming a donor, you'll find plenty of information here on how you can help children in the slums of Kenya.
Take your time and look around, and if you have any questions or want to help click on the Contact Us button below.

Using money from the 2018 Christmas Appeal we are funding counselling services to support our students, many of whom have experienced terrible ordeals in their short lives. We are delighted that this is already showing success and we undertaking a series of training sessions for our staff and teachers in counselling techniques so they are better able to help our students from such difficult backgrounds. It proves again that the generosity of our sponsors and supporters is making a real and tangible difference to the lives of these children.

We are incredibly grateful to Holy Trinity Church in Brussels for the grant they awarded us to install solar lights at GEC.
GEC is situated in a rural area on the outskirts of Nairobi where electricity supply is unreliable and power cuts are frequent. This leads to difficulties for both staff and students and has a real impact on the children's learning as well as safety. Through the generosity of Holy Trinity we have now installed solar lights 4 classrooms and the girls' dormitory and it is already making a tremendous difference to the school.
