Our work aims to enable children to live happily and fulfilled lives. The programs we support typically have either an educational or a children’s rights focus. By working with local NGO partners who understand the needs of the communities they work in, we can be sure the solutions they deliver are appropriate and cost-effective, giving children hope and opportunities for a brighter future.
Kenya was the first country African Children’s Fund worked in and since 2006, our name has become synonymous with our Porridge Clubs. These now run in 10 primary schools in and around the town of Thika, and enable 2,000 children to go to school every day instead of working, begging or scavenging for food on the street.
Through Watoto Kwanza – our Kenyan NGO partner – we provide participating schools with a basic kitchen, water, and cooking utensils. After that, the schools receive a supply of Uji – a vitamin supplemented porridge – so the children can receive a school meal each day.
