Ob'ectives and activities
Kivuli Trust's objective is the advancement of education, the relief of
financial hardship and the preseNation 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.
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
re￿1ve specialist education and support within a regular school
environment.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary ofthe maln
achlevements of the charlty
durlng the year
This year Kivuli Trust raised £Jf9,122 through fundraising initiatives to
help fund the 8nnual 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 accepled by
their families afftl 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 educalion.
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 Sch(x)I,
as well as the boarders- a total of c.100 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
ex￿lIent to see the physical progress the children are making.
The Kivuli Hostels CBO is the entity responsible for receiving funds from
Kivuli Trust (UK) and distributing them (paying staff, paying costs,
arranging renovation works etc.) It was the second full year of operation,
with a structured AGM taking place in February 2025.
Rhoda Otieno retired from the Gilgil Special School during the year and
was employed by the CBO as General Manager. The highlight of the
year was a young child, called Faith, who was invited to state house on
Mazingira (Environment) Day to meet the First Lady after writing a p￿M
about the environment.
Aside from the usual repairs and maintenance works, the capex projects
undertaken during the year include a new concrete walkway from the
girls dorm to the dining room, to facilitate ease of movement for children
in wheelchairs and the partitioning of a new Offi￿ for the General
Manager & Assistant Manager within the girls hostel.

Section E
Financial review
The Trust holds reserves towards the operating costs of the 2 hostels
(mainly to allow for inflation), and towards the capital costs associated
with the improving the lives of the children at the school through new
facilities and amenities.
