Urgent appeal for donations to support displaced children in the Rift Valley

 

The recent political unrest in Kenya has displaced a quarter of a million people across the country, who have been forced from their homes by the violence. Many have flooded into the eastern half of the Rift Valley, where HSK's operations are centred.

The result is that schools are increasingly overcrowded. Hundreds of children have joined the schools that we work with, with an average of 30 additional children per school. Because they are not on the official government lists, the school does not receive funding for these new arrivals and so they have no uniform, books or pens.

For £15 per head, we can provide this for them, allowing them to integrate into school life and to continue their education with the minimum of disruption.

Please give what you can to support these children. You can donate directly to support displaced children through Harambee Schools Kenya at http://www.justgiving.com/kenyaschools.

You can also read a report about how we have spent the money raised so far here.
