In the charity's own words
We relieve poverty and improve education for children and young adults in Nakuru, Kenya. We work together with public primary schools to run three main projects. These are classroom construction, a food programme whereby the poorest children receive free school lunches, and a sponsorship programme providing the school fees for the poorest and most vulnerable children to attend to secondary school.
