Help our girls in Mtwapa (Kenya) |
|
We are helping a small group of children in and around Mtwapa (Kenya) with their education. Disadvantaged children, especially girls, who otherwise would not be able to attend school.
We have deliberately chosen to help each child on an individual base. When the child still goes to primary school, the parents are responsible and when the child is ready for it, the child can take its own responsibility for his or her education. We consider it of importance that people learn to take responsibility for their own lives.

Trip to Kenya
From March 24th to April 15th, Liesbeth Fokkes and Helga Krist (a friend) traveled to Kenya. They visited several (former) students there. Click on the link for some pictures and more details.
Sponsorday on October 11th 2025
That Saturday, we held a sponsorday with a small group. Many of our donors have grown elderly and are no longer able to attend. We first gave a presentation in a small room for 12 people about the foundation's achievements so far. We discussed Helga's experiences in Africa for the first time and input from donors. Afterwards, we enjoyed a meal together. All in all, it was a successful event.

Practical support in Kenya is given by two local fieldassistants Mose and Anna). This construction makes it possible to keep remote control and still provide adequate support within the framework of the objectives of the foundation.
The reason we mainly support girls has to do with the Kenyan culture and the related practice. In short, you could say that boys have the longest school time and girls have to provide the income later. Not really an ideal situation.
