Kipawa Golf Day - September 2014

21/9/2014

The 2014 Kipawa Charity Golf Day was held at Archerfield Links, East Lothian, on Saturday 20th September. 24 golfers enjoyed great conditions over an 18 hole competition and almost £1000 was raised for Kipawa.

Derry Green and Richard Routledge won the main competition with a record breaking 48 point haul. Ted Rodger won the nearest the pin competition with a fine approach to the 13th while James Boxer and Will Hammond won the longest drive competitions.

Many thanks to all who took part in the day and we look forward to seeing you in 2015! More photos of the event can be seen here.

"Kenya: mothers and children scratching a living on Eldoret dump" - Guardian article explains the importance of feeding programmes for children living in poverty in Kenya

This article by Zoe Flood and Louis Quail in the Guardian newspaper today describes the desperate situations some people in Kenya find themselves and their families in. Kipawa works in a different part of Kenya, but this article explains how important feeding programmes in schools and other health and social work interventions are for getting children to attend school, allowing them to concentrate when they are there and helping their families to escape the extreme poverty they are living in.

Thanks to Kipawa's generous donors, we are able to provide breakfast and lunch to all the children in Mukuya school in Kenya. We also provide, among other help, deworming medication, sanitary towels, counselling services, family empowerment assistance and, for some, sponsorship to attend secondary school. We have also helped to improve the school environment by improving several classrooms and building new toilet blocks. With your help, we are really making a difference to the lives of the children we work with. Thank you.
