Over 600 of us shared a great day today at our annual Disability Funday at Kitheo, Tigania West.
In addition to welcoming children and parents from the 14 Special Units across Tigania West,we were blessed with support from the local Chief and all the sub chiefs, the DEO, the TSE, the Children’s office, the office of the MP, the MCA, and many more.
But most important of all it was a day filled with laughter and enjoyment.

Many thanks to the Darlington Methodist Circuit who funded today. ... See more

We were very pleased today to deliver washable sanitary pads to Mary Muthoni in Kiini, Tharaka Nithi. They will be distributed to local school age girls to stop them missing school due to a lack of monthly protection. These packs were made and donated by the Inner Wheel of Rutland Water. They are made to a high quality as specified by the Days for Girls charity. We soon hope to start a manufacturing unit at Kiini to make these pads here in Kenya.
Many thanks to everyone who is bringing this project to life!!! ... See more

Many areas of Kenya including Tigania West are in drought, and the crops this season have dried. But look at these wonderful pictures taken today at one of our newly installed irrigated school farms.

Thank you to the Loughborough Male Voice Choir for tonight’s wonderful performance in aid of FKK. The voices and harmonies were impressive!
Equally impressive were the FKK branded cakes made by Hannah Collins, and the creative fundraising ideas. We truly appreciate your time and energy in helping us fund the activities around Kianjai.
Thank you for your support.... and if we needed any proof of how much people enjoyed the night it’s must surely be that it raised £1569!!!! A wonderful result, thank you 😊 ... See more
