Sponsor A Child
One of the greatest gifts that we can give children stuck in a cycle of poverty is an education. It provides such children with an opportunity to make something of their lives. We would encourage you to consider what you can do to help. Below are some of the children who live at Karibu Nyumbani Orphanage and need sponsorship to help cover their school fees. The orphanage is attached to the Welcome Home School. You can find out more about it HERE. If you would like to help, please click on the sponsor button for the relevant child. We have set out the needs of each child. If you cannot afford to cover all the costs for a child, please just do what you can. You can share your sponsorship with another kind person. If you would like to know more, please click HERE for a list of frequently asked questions. Finally 100% of what you contribute, including all Gift Aid (if you are a UK tax-payer) goes towards helping your child.
