Important Information for Regular Donors to Kipawa

21/2/2017

0 Comments

 
***IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR REGULAR DONORS TO KIPAWA ***

If you are a Kipawa donor who gives a regular donation through Virgin Money Giving, you should have had an email recently advising that you need to re-register your donation because VMG is updating its systems.

This email is genuine and if you do not set up a new regular donation, your donations to Kipawa will stop. Regular donations are vitally important to our ability to plan our work and make ongoing commitments to the people we work with in Kenya.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you need any more information or help with the process, please call Virgin Money Giving on 03456 09 10 46, or email theteam@virginmoneygiving.com

You can re-register your donation here.

We're going to Kenya!

19/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Each year, one of the Kipawa trustees visits Ruiru to see, first hand, all the fantastic projects funded by Kipawa supporters. This year, in June, Kieran (our chairman) and Paddy (his brother) are making the trip to Kenya.

As always when our trustees head over to Kenya, they will be covering all their own costs for the trip but they would like to be able to take some gifts with them when they visit. In the past we have given sports equipment, toys and games, clothes and text books.

The gifts are bought in Kenya, where your donations will go a lot further and will support the local ecomony - as well as avoiding the excess luggage charges! Please give if you can.
Give a gift to the children of Ruiru here!
We will, of course, keep you up to date with Kieran and Paddy's visit and report back when they come home on everything that they have discovered on the trip.

Thank you in advance!

Christmas Kickstarter Appeal Update

3/12/2015

Thanks to your very generous donations, we have already raised nearly 40% of our Christmas Appeal fundraising target! We are very grateful, but there's still a way to go.

This year we are raising money to open a Kickstarter class in Mukuyu School. A kickstarter class is designed to help reintegrate kids that have missed large parts of their schooling back into the school environment. These are often the children who are least well off in the community and they will benefit from a smaller class size, focussed intervention and dedicated social worker support. Once they are ready, the children will helped to rejoin their peer group in regular classes.  


We need to raise at least £2,500 to get this idea off the ground. Please help these vulnerable children to Kickstart their education. 

You can donate either by visiting our Virgin Money Giving page here http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/KipawaChristmasKickstarter, or by transferring funds directly to Kipawa's bank account. Details are as follows:
Barclays Bank
Sort Code:                20-29-23
Account Number:    3368750
Please mention “Christmas Kickstarter Appeal” in the reference.

Please share this post or our Facebook page with your friends. Thank you once again for your support.

Firstly, we want to say thank you for your support since we started Kipawa in 2010. You have helped us to:
  • Feed more than 700 children at school every day - more than 250,000 meals!
  • Increase the school population by 80%,
  • Provide sanitary towels to more than 80 girls, enabling them to attend school,

Here’s what the kids want to tell you:

Kipawa trustee to visit Mukuya School later this month

Our newest trustee, Clare Jones, will be visiting Kenya later this month to meet with out locally-based partners and see the work that Kipawa has been funding this year. This will be Clare's first visit to Mukuya School and to Kenya and she is very excited to experience for herself the important work Kipawa is doing there. 

Once again, our good friend, Lindsay Given, has been collecting good quality, used, children's shoes in Richmond, Surrey and we are delighted to be taking over 300 pairs with us this year! We have also asked what other gifts we might take with us and have been told that reading books, sports and art materials and clothes for the children would be much appreciated. So, we've set up a Virgin Money Giving page specifically for this, and any donation you can make, however small or large, will be spent in Kenya to provide some of these useful supplies on our trip.

The link the the donation page is below. Please contact us if you would like any more information about this trip. And watch this space for updates, photos and news from the visit.

"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

1/9/2014

0 Comments

 
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.

The 70-year wait for primary school - Why Kipawa's work in Kenya is so vital

29/1/2014

0 Comments

 
This article from the BBC shows how vital the work that Kipawa is doing in Kenya is. The report shows that Kenya is in the bottom 10, worldwide, for the number of children attending school. 

The feeding programme established by Kipawa in Mukuya school means that the school roll there is now well over 600. The counselling, family empowerment and other health programmes mean that children who might have dropped out of school are helped to stay in school and benefit from their education. 

Read the full BBC story here:

If you can give anything, however small, to help this vital work, please donate here through Virgin Money Giving.
