Welcome to our Nairobi Kids blog!

We're glad you are here! This website represents the children of Galilee Primary School, Lorna Waddington High School and the Holly House orphanages in the Kayole-Soweto slums in Nairobi, Kenya. Through the care and donations of concerned supporters these children are getting the chance of a lifetime to change their futures. YOU can be a part of that change!

The school and its children have many needs, but we are currently promoting some very important projects:

~ WHS Child Sponsorships:
Encourage a needy student and play an instrumental role in helping a student stay in school and succeed in realizing the dream of a high school diploma. You will change the life of a student and the path of her/his family for generations to come! Sponsorship fees are only $12.50/month for Basic Program or $20/month for Lunch-Included Program.  See our WHS Sponsorship page to see some of these deserving students.

~ Sponsor a Teacher:
Galilee Primary School and Waddington High School in Nairobi, Kenya are proud of its talented, dedicated teachers, but these hard working teachers work for extremely low salaries. It is challenging to teach school in the slums. Conveniences we take for granted are lacking. It is through their genuine caring for the children that they remain at the school, working to provide brighter futures for their students. Therefore, a teacher sponsorship program has been established. The sponsorship fees provide for needed stipends to assist the school director in retaining the teaching staff. Through a stable teaching environment, our children can learn more effectively.

~ Mary's Kitchen Project:
The school is in desperate need of a new kitchen. Through donations from many generous people and grass roots organizations we are within $1300 of completing this critical project. Mary recently completed another sponsored climb and will use donations in honor of her climb to help fund the kitchen. Please visit our Projects page for more information!



Two dedicated nonprofit organizations serving these students are represented here: Kenya's Kids in Need - UK (serving the UK) and Plant-a-Book International (serving the USA and all other countries). Please email us if you have any questions about the schools or programs at info@nairobikids.org.





By the way, if you live in the UK, KKIN UK uses Gift Aid which allows your donations to go even further!
About Gift Aid: Under the Gift Aid scheme, charities can reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. Between 6 April 2008 and 5 April 2011, the government will also give UK charities an extra 3% of all eligible donations. This ‘transitional relief’ does not affect your personal tax position.

Together we can make a difference! Thanks for stopping by!
