KAF in Kenya Dec.2009

A team from Kenya Aid Foundation visited projects in Nairobi and Eldoret during a visit in December 2009.

The Foundation visited schools in Nairobi, Eldoret, Iten, and Naivasha, and also Eldoret transition camp. A number of sites were also put forward for our water pump project in Eldoret.

Thank you for a warm welcome!

Kenya Aid Foundation would like to thank St. Elizabeth School, Lorwa School and Kipkaren School for a warm welcome in Eldoret. In addition, our best wishes go to Arise and Shine Academy in Iten, to Naivasha Highway Primary School, and to Fort Smith Educational Centre and Barnardos orphanage in Nairobi.

We also extend our thanks to Cokethorpe School in Oxfordshire, and to Abbots Bromley Girls School in Staffordshire, on whose behalf we were able to deliver Christmas shoeboxes, books, stationery and school uniforms to children in Kenya.

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.

The team also received a ’sotet’ as a gift while in Kibugat. 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.
