Kindfund

Background

Child sponsorship brings a direct link between the sponsor and a child in the project the sponsor is supporting. At its best this can produce a living relationship between the sponsor and the child within certain bounds. The sponsor develops a personal commitment to the project and the project benefits from a long term commitment to funding. The sponsor is supporting the child indirectly through the project.

We are happy to arrange for such a link between a sponsor and a child on the project and we do this by taking regular photographs of the sponsored child and arranging for them to draw or write for the sponsor. We have been able to take photographs of the sponsor to the sponsored children and in other small ways promote a relationship.

Nursery children can be sponsored from £5 (€8) per month for a period of three years when the child will normally move to primary school and off our direct programme.. Sponsors will at this point be offered the opportunity to continue with a new child. Orphans can be sponsored from £10 (€15) per month, Deaf/Blind/handicapped from £15 (€22) per month and Secondary School Bursaries from £20 (€29) per month. The funding ensures a regular flow of finance to the running costs of the project which is providing food, school uniforms, materials and utensils and supporting salaries.

In the case of the Nursery Schools the money is used to provide porridge, part fund the teacher, cook, for uniforms and for the upkeep of the buildings. Similarly for the orphans, we are feeding one meal per day, uniforms are provided for those who can be encouraged to attend school, and some medical expenses are met. In 2007 we began to provide food and support to a children's home for 46 children in Isiolo and in 2008 we have opened a 48 bed purpose built home  in a beautiful location at Wamba for the most needy orphans many of whom have been living 'home alone'.  Deaf children discovered in remote villages are funded to board at the Isiolo school for the Deaf  as funds permit and 3 deaf children are being funded to the Secondary School for the Deaf. In 2007 we funded 3 Blind Children at Kambi Ya Juu Integrated Primary School. On our first visit in 2008 we became the main sponsors for this unit feeding 14 visually impaired children and improving their living conditions. Other young people are being funded to secondary schools. In Kenya in most cases this means boarding.
