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.

JANUARY 2018

During the course of the financial year Kivuli Trust fundraised to support the Gilgil Special School ’s children and carers, as well as provide maintenance for the 2 x boarding hostels.

Funds raised went towards:

Providing 3 meals a day for the children residing in both hostels, plus 1 meal a day for the day-children from the Gilgil Special School
Paying the salaries of 14 staff – carers, cooks, groundsmen & security guards
Maintenance & painting of both hostels

Summary of the main Maintenance & painting of both hostels activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity these objects (include within Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit in the Trustee meetings. this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

A further objective of the Trust is to change the attitude towards disability in the surrounding community by visibly demonstrating that children with disabilities have a place in schools. By building hostels within the grounds of mainstream schools the Trust aims to promote acceptance of children with disability from the youngest of ages.

The contribution of our donors goes a long way to helping us to achieve our objectives:

We are extremely grateful to:

Three Cheers Pubs
Many sponsor-a-child supporters
Oundle School

We would also like to thank Oscar Hughes and Rosie Barnes who supported the efforts on the ground during the year as volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This year Kivuli Trust raised £28,052 through fundraising initiatives to help fund the annual operation of the 2 hostels.

There were 4 terms, rather than 3, in the academic year, due to the loss of 2 terms in 2019 due to Covid-19. During these terms, we continued to financially support the 16 people employed at the hostels - carers, cooks, security guards and groundsmen. The hostels accommodated 68 of the more vulnerable children, providing them with full pastoral care, and three meals a day. The kitchen also fed all the day children from the Gilgil Special School, 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.

Throughout the year we ran a physiotherapy programme. John our physiotherapist comes 5 days a week and works with more than 10 of the children who have physical disabilities requiring exercise and treatment. It is excellent to see the progress the children are making.

We opened a bore hole beside the hostels, which means there is now secure water supply throughout the year. The bore hole was over 200 metres deep due to the low water table in this area.

26 children graduated from the Gilgil Special School in 2021, presided over by the Department of Education and attended by all the parents. We wish these children a healthy and happy future.
