Friends of Kianjai Kenya

As we await rains in Meru County conditions are very dry. With no crops in the field or food in the village homes, we were happy to support Oliver and Learn to distribute maize to the community. As the rains approach we pray that this season will produce a good crop for them ... See more

Kenya 🇰🇪 What can I say. I am having the most amazing time. Heartbreaking as there is a famine and the children and families I am meeting have such a struggle BUT their hearts are so enormous and they welcome us with open arms (and big smiles)
I haven’t laughed so much and felt so emotional, than I have in the last week. Friends of Kianjai is the most fantastic charity and I will be telling you all about their work when home. I feel totally honoured to be with them. ... See more

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.

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.
