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.
ummary of the objects of the
harity set out in its
overning 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
receive specialist education and support within a regular school
environment.
TAR

During the course of the financial year Kivuli Trust fundraised to provide
pastoral care for the children boarding at the Gilgil Special School in
Gilgil, Kenya.
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 15 staff - hostel manager, assistant hostel
manager, accountant, carers, cooks, physiotherapist & security
guards
Maintenance & painting of both hostels
The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity
Commission's guidance on Public Benefit in the Trustee meetings.

A further obj'ective of the Trust is to change the attrtude towards disabilrty
in the surrounding communty by visibly demonstrating that children with
disa￿"11t￿S have a place at school. By building hostels wrthin the grounds
of mainstream schools. the Trust aims to promote acceptance of children
wrth disaknlty from the youngest of ages.
The contribution of our donors goes a long way to helping us to achieve
our oty"ectives:

Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary ofthe maln
achlevements of the charlty
during the year
We are sad to report that Paula Pape, who was the spirit and energy
behind the establishment of the Gilgil Special School, passed away on
15th April 2023. The Trustees of Kivuli Trust are committed to continuing
the work of the Trust, in her name.
This year Kivuli Trust raised £39,776 through fundraising initiatives to
help fund the annual operation of the 2 hostels.
The 2 hostels provide safe, secure accommodation for 68 vulnerable
children, enabling them to learn essential life skills and to attend the Gilgil
Special School. These children receive an education and a chance in life.
Rather than being hidden away and abused, they become 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.
During the year, we paid the salaries of the 16 staff employed at the
hostels- manager, assistant manager, accountant, carers, cooks,
security guards and groundsmen. The hostels accommodated the more
vulnerable children, providing them with full pastoral care, clean water
and three meals a day. However, the kitchen also provided hot,
nutritious lunches for all the day children from the Gilgil Special School,
as well as the boarders- a total of c. 125 children.
Throughout the year we ran a physiotherapy programme. Peter, our
physiotherapist, spent 5 days a week with more than 10 of the children
who have physical disabilities requiring exercise and treatment. It is
excellent to see the physical progress the children are making.
In Kenya, we had previously upgraded the local operating entity from a
Self-help Group to a Community Based Organisation (CBO). This entity
is responsible for receiving funds from Kivuli Trust (UK) and distributing
them (paying staff, paying costs, arranging renovation works etc.) It was
the first full year of operation, with a structured AGM taking place in
February 2024.
A reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration system was installed in February
2024 to ensure that the bore-hole water was de-salinated and purified for
drinking. An elevated water tank was also installed in order to hold the
purified water and gravity feed it to the kitchen. Similarly, a new soak
away pit was constructed to receive grey water from the kitchen,
including the installation of a grease trap. Solar powered security lighting
was also installed.
2 carerfs rooms were added to the Boys Hostel (partitioned within the
boys dormitory). This allows for quicker response times to any issues
that need attention during the night. Lastly, we undertook substantial
renovation works to ensure that the hostels, dining room, kitchen and
physio room, remain in very good condition.
In November 2023 12 children from the Gilgil Special School were
chosen to be part of the Govt pilot scheme for National Exams for
children with Special Needs. We are pleased with the recognition.
