http://mainstreetconsulting.co.uk/charity/ Did you know that today - Saturday 19th November 2016 - is World Toilet Day? You may not even have been aware that there was a World Toilet Day? However, the lack of toilets and decent sanitation in Kenya and in other countries across the world, is a very serious health issue. Throughout the world,
Our Kipawa Christmas Appeal We have been so pleased in 2016 to have begun working with a second primary school in the Ruiru area - Oaklands School. Oaklands School is a more rural school than Mukuyu and is on a coffee plantation. The school's buildings and facilities are in a fairly run-down state, much like Mukuyu was five years ago. The toilets are in such a bad state - the back wall has collapsed - that they can't be used. This means that the children have to use the bush, which is unsanitary and, particularly for the girls, unsafe.
How can you help? This Christmas we would love to give the gift of new, safe toilets to the children at Oaklands School - and what better day to kickstart our Christmas Appeal than on World Toilet Day? It will cost around £7,500 to build two new toilet blocks for the girls and boys at Oaklands School but whatever little you can give will go a long way to helping.
Happy World Toilet Day from everyone at Kipawa!
We are delighted that once again, we have Kipawa Christmas cards for sale and have three attractive designs to choose from:
All three designs come in cellophane-wrapped packs of 10 cards and cost £3.99 per pack. The greeting inside each card reads "With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year" and each card features an acknowledgment that the card was purchased to support Kipawa. How to order To order, please email us, including the following details:

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions or queries. Thank you to the 27 donors who dug so deeply and donated over £3,600 for our new Kickstarter class. There were a few donors who were exceptionally generous – McGinness Associates, Main Street Consulting and Sam McGinness - so a special thanks to them. For those of you who don’t know, the Kickstarter class will aim to help reintegrate children who have dropped out of school or who have never attended school in the first place, back into the school environment. These are often the kids who are least well off and they will benefit from a smaller class size, focussed intervention and dedicated social worker support. Once they are ready the children will rejoin their peer group in regular classes. The great news is that we have raised more than our target and so we will be going forward as quickly as possible to get this new class off the ground. The first step will be to build a new classroom for the class – our success with the feeding programme has meant that the other classrooms are very full. At the same time, our partners in Kenya will be identifying children who would benefit most from the programme. We will keep you posted as the work progresses. In the meantime, here’s a message from the kids. |
