  • Funding our work II

    Posted: July 17, 2008, 10:13 pm by Dad Mzungu

    This was a wild dream a few months ago, a pipe-dream, a silly idea, total rot!

    Not so now though. Things are afoot to actually make a reasonable income that will totally fund at least one project, and once that is started, if it is successful, that will help fund another, and so on.

    We could be setting a trend. Whereas, many British charities have shops in the UK to raise money for work overseas, we are opening a business in the country where we are doing the charity work and creating employment at the same time.

    I like this idea. I like it a lot. Let's hope it works, and that we can expand it!

    You may think from reading my recent entries, that our work is confined to the area around Kisii.

    It isn't. We also support a school in Watamu. The school is private and the parents pay for the priviedge of sending their kids - well, most of them do. If the parents fall on hard times, the kids aren't turned away.

    And then there is the question of the 17 orphans and vulnerable children who live there and whoalso receive an education.

    You can see these kids at:

    and the school website is:

    Take a look. They are a wonderful bunch of children - and they could all do with sponsorship.

    The school is still being built with a canteen, kitchen, library and extra classrooms in progress. But this costs money and any help would be most welcome.
