Kenya Projects
Cheryl’s Children’s Home & Learning Centre
Located in Nairobi, Kenya and established in 1999, Cheryl’s Children’s Home & Learning Centre (CCHLC) is home to 70 children ages 5 to 18. Eighty percent of these children are orphans, 15 percent are semi-orphans and 5 percent come from homes where the family is no longer able to support them. The goal of CCHLC is to provide these vulnerable children with a safe and loving space to develop, to become educated, and to become healthy, productive citizens.
Volunteer Opportunities: helping with the preparation and distribution of meals, assisting with necessary construction and refurbishment projects.
The Kibera SEED School + Breakfast Feeding Program
Located in the heart of Kibera, Nairobi’s largest slum, The SEED School provides quality education for 65 vulnerable primary-level children from the local community. Upon the SEED School’s invitation, GIVE International works to provide the funding for a school breakfast feeding program, as well as the salary support for 4 teachers, 1 coordinator, and 2 breakfast cooks, thereby enhancing the learning opportunity for these incredible children.
Volunteer Opportunities: teaching, organizing recreational activities and after-school programs, tutoring children with their school-work, supporting breakfast feedings, assisting with necessary construction and refurbishment projects.
Strong Tower Children’s Home
Located near Lake Naivasha on the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the Strong Tower Children’s home provides accommodations and meals for 46 vulnerable children from the region. Over the past 6 years we have provided new mattresses, blankets, mosquito nets, food supplies, school supplies, tree seedlings, rain-harvesting water tanks, and two pit latrines. As the children’s home continues to grow, our goal is to continue assistance with the aforementioned items, as well as to provide brand new beds for each of the children.
