DONATING MATERIAL GOODS

We love to receive gifts! From the mundane to the ridiculous, the children are thrilled by anything that arrives for them. And they need everything - there is nothing you can give that will go amiss here. However, there are some things that would be of more practical use than others, such as:

  • Mosquito nets! Far more children die of malaria than of AIDS on the African continent. Mosquito nets can save lives.
  • Foodstuffs. Varying the children's diet is vital for their health, and while they love their ugali (maize porridge) it's so much better for them to also have vegetables and meats, either fresh or from tins.
  • Shoes and clothing.
  • Light blankets. Even though we are close to the equator, nights can get cold.
  • School books, pens, pencils, colouring and painting aids, paper, etc.
  • Knitted or crocheted goods, for winter.
  • Toys, especially educational toys, or things that teach the children to concentrate, like jigsaw puzzles.
  • - And pretty much anything at all that you find you don't need, or think the staff or children could use. They don't even have to be in new condition!
