See how everyone has been contributing to the mission.
Kenya Thriving was established in 2012 to partner with an existing Kenyan organisation. Otacho Christian Children's Home is a registered community-based organisation, caring for 51 children in a rural community of South West Kenya. Each child comes from the local area having suffered trauma and the loss of one or both parents.
We are excited to offer an opportunity to achieve something truly amazing, whilst doing what you love and encouraging others all at the same time. So … why not join us on our virtual 10,000km journey from Bristol to Otacho Christian Children’s Home in Kenya and help us to raise £25,000 which will allow ten children to attend Secondary School for four years? The impact of education for each child will gift him/her the opportunity and inspiration to thrive.
100% of ALL donations go directly to the project and are spent within the local economy. This helps to reduce dependency and emphasises the orphanage as a Kenya community project.
Our emphasis is on partnership because we want to be part of the solution for the children and not the creators of dependency thinking for the organisation. To this end, we only support self-sustaining initiatives for the orphanage, such as solar lighting and using every house roof to collect water in tanks.
Our focus today is about working with our partners to change tomorrow for every child at Otacho Christian Children's Home and enable them to develop to their fullest potential.
