Tuesday 3rd December is ‘Giving Tuesday’
Please help us to continue feeding over a thousand of the most vulnerable children in the slums of Kenya.
Your donations will be matched by one of our sponsors, so every pound you donate will have double the impact.
It costs just 17p to provide a nutritious hot meal of maize, beans and vegetables at one of our feeding centres. A donation of £5 will feed a child for a month. Would you sacrifice the cost of one Costa coffee each month to feed a starving child every day?
A sponsor has committed to match every donation made before World Giving day on Tuesday 3rd December. So a donation of £5 per month will be worth £10 and feed two children.
We are raising funds so that we can keep providing 300,000 meals each year from 8 feeding centres in the most deprived areas of Kenya, where work is irregular, and the typical wage is just $2 per day. On days when work is not available, none of the family gets a meal. Our regular daily meal can be the difference between life and death.
Our feeding centres are located next to schools, so the children are motivated to attend by the promise of a daily meal. Starving children do not have the energy to walk long distances to school. If they do make it, they can’t concentrate and learn effectively in class. They suffer physical and mental health problems, often have stunted growth, and can’t develop socially.
We collect data on the children every term and it shows that a hot daily meal rapidly tackles these problems. It improves their health, raises their academic performance, reduces school absenteeism, and improves their behaviour and well-being. It gives them the chance of a decent self-sufficient life as adults.
Help us to transform the future for these desperately vulnerable children by giving each month or making a one-off donation. We are very grateful if you already support us – are you able to consider increasing your monthly donation?
Please give what you can. Each £5 per month will help us rescue another child and improve their lives. The £5 will be matched by our sponsor so that your donation will feed two children.
Every penny you give will be spent on the children; our Trustees pay for all administration and fund-raising costs.
