The last school uniforms distributed
Then the last 7 school uniforms were distributed to 7 worthy needy students at Githabai Primary School.
Thank you to everyone who has kindly contributed to the 57 uniforms donated in 2019.
In addition, a number of individuals have chosen to sponsor further education for a number of students at Githabai Primary School. Since 2006, sponsors have been found to send a new team of young people to education at the 4-year Secondary Schools each year - a total of 35 young people. Of these, at present 17, but since the families are poor and without the opportunity to contribute to a possible. In higher education, young people continue to need financial support. 8 sponsors therefore support further education for a maximum of 4 years within approx. same amount limit. 2 young people have got new sponsors.
In addition to the sponsors mentioned, a large number of associations, ward councils, members and benevolent individuals have contributed money, effects to the containers as well as help in numerous ways. Some funds have been raised as fees at lecture events, where the association has been invited to show pictures and report on its background and projects.
Thank you all.

The association was formed in 2005 by Ulrik Petersen's children and family with the help and inspiration of friends and acquaintances with the aim of supporting children in Kenya, primarily South Kinangop with the school Githabai Primary School as the center.
We have direct contact with the school without costly intermediaries and expensive administration.
The school is located on the edge of the Rift Valley at Naivasha approx. 140 km from the capital Nairobi.
The school is located in an agricultural area of small plots, where vegetables are mainly grown for resale and to feed the families.
The main crops are corn and potatoes. The weights are small and neat, so the cores are tight.
Some people are suffering from AIDS, mortality is high, and therefore an increasing number of grandparents have to care for orphans.
Education cannot be afforded here.
Lack of water was a major problem in the past.
Rainwater was collected in tanks and ponds during the rainy season, but this was not enough at all.
The water was of poor quality with health hazard to the children.
Githabai's Friends Association is currently working on 5 projects:
The water project is supervised by engineer Catherine Wanjihia in collaboration with the water committee at Githabai.
Funding for the projects is sought, among other things. through contributions from associations, and companies, and through membership fees, as our association p.t. includes approx. 75 members.
The association also collects extra funds by giving lectures on the association's background and working for distressed children in Kenya.
Please note that all funds go to our projects, with all members working for free.
primarily in Kinangop, through raising funds for schoolwork and other purposes.
