Section C Objectives and activities
Kivuli Trust’s objective is the advancement of education, the relief of financial hardship and the preservation and protection of the good health of children under 25 in East Africa, in particular but not exclusively, those who are suffering from a mental or physical handicap.
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
- Kivuli Trust (Kivuli meaning shelter in Swahili) builds and operates hostels on the premises of mainstream schools in Kenya, East Africa, for children with physical and mental disabilities. It is estimated that less than 1% of the 3 million people in Kenya living with mental disabilities, receive an education. The Trust’s aim is help these ‘forgotten’ children to receive specialist education and support within a regular school environment.

By building hostels within the grounds of mainstream schools the Trust aims to promote acceptance of children with disability from the youngest of ages.

We are extremely grateful to:
-

-

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Summary of the main This year Kivuli Trust raised £41,093 through fundraising initiatives to achievements of the charity help fund the annual operation of the 2 hostels. during the year This was an unexpected year with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in mid-March. Schools were closed by the Government in late March and remained closed for the remainder of 2020. They only reopened in January 2021. Given the lack of social welfare in Kenya and the low socio-economic backgrounds of the children, we made the decision to re-allocate ‘sponsor-a-child’ funds towards food parcels delivered to the homes of the most vulnerable 15 children, between June 2020 and December 2020.
We continued to financially support the 16 people employed at the hostels - carers, cooks, security guards and groundsmen. From January 2021, when the children returned, all these employees held renewed Certificates of Good Conduct from the Kenyan Govt. The hostels accommodated 68 children between January and April 2021, providing them with full pastoral care, and the kitchen fed over 100+ children with a hot, nutritious lunch every day during term time.
The two hostels provide safe, secure accommodation for 68 children, enabling them to learn essential life skills and to attend the Gilgil Special School. For the first time in their lives, these children received an education and chance in life. Instead of being hidden and abused, they became accepted by their families and the wider community. The positive and sustainable impact this has on attitudes to disability is profound.
This flagship project remains a ‘Centre of Excellence’ (as declared by the Kenyan Government), and an example of how disabled children, given the right support, can be given a worthwhile education.
In January 2021 we re-introduced the dental programme and physiotherapy programme. John our physiotherapist comes twice a week from Gilgil Hospital and works with 15 children who have physical disabilities requiring exercise and treatment. It is excellent to see the progress the children are making.
