KAF Visits Corrie!

British actor Steve Huison, co-founder of the Shoestring Theatre Company, and currently starring as Eddie Windass in Coronation Street, invited a team from the Kenya Aid Foundation to visit the set of Coronation Street recently.

Kenya Aid Foundation supports Shoestring by storing theatrical equipment in recycled warehousing space donated by NFP Warehousing.

KAF in Kenya Oct.2009

A team from the Kenya Aid Foundation has recently returned from Kenya after visiting a number of educational projects in Nairobi and Kibugat.

The team visited Barnardos orphanage and several schools in Nairobi, including Fort Smith Educational Centre. A further trip was made to visit Kibugat Community Projects. Several projects submitted proposals for support from the Kenya Aid Foundation, and we look forward to providing assistance where we can.

This traditional milk guord / calablash is central to the life of the Kipsigis and Kalenjin tribes as a milk storage facility and an extension to their love of cattle rearing for milk. We are told that the ’sotet’ is given to people to bless the productivity of their work.
