Objectives and Principal Activities
The purpose of the charity, Enfants Kenya UK, as set out in the governing document, is to relieve the suffering of, and advance in life, orphans, street children and in particular, young girls who are vulnerable to trafficking or other forms of abuse.
Enfants Kenya UK makes grants available to community organisations who have a presence in Kenya and who are able to provide education and/or training, accommodation, rescue services and emergency shelter.
Enfants Kenya currently works with, but is not limited to, three partner organisations:
-
Association Kenyan Kids registered in France on 21[st] March 2011, registration number W061002375
-
Familia Community Based Organisation registered in Kenya on 8[th] April 2015, registration number 39852
-
Familia Foundation registered, according to the laws of Kenya, as a Company Limited by Guarantee on 17[th] July 2019, registration number CLG-PPF5A7
Achievements and performance
As in 2019, it was decided that our beneficiaries would be girls who suffer because of gender disparity, who are vulnerable to human trafficking, who are in, or come from, abusive environments.
Our partner organisation, Familia CBO, throughout 2020, was giving full time care for the needs of twelve girls. This consisted of food, accommodation, education and health care.
School fees were covered for an additional three children living with foster families.
In the future, we expect to continue financial support through the provision of grant funding to these and similar community organisations (see above) who are in a position to provide care, education and/or training, accommodation, food, clothing, health care, emergency shelter and rescue services.
When the charity was inaugurated in 2018, it was decided to focus our fundraising capacity on bringing in individual but regular donations, particularly from those people, based in the UK, who may also be registered for Gift Aid. These monthly donations are the charity’s principal source of funding and these amounts are transferred to Kenya on a regular basis.
As well as individual donations, we also welcome one-off grants. A specific donation of £30,000 was made towards the end of 2019 for the purpose of building a rescue home for vulnerable girls. In 2020, a sum of £15,000 was added to this amount and the 3-bedroomed rescue centre with an additional two bed-roomed volunteer house and outdoor kitchen were completed and occupied during September 2020. This property is situated at Holo, close to Kisumu, Kenya.
Julie Hellon spent a total of five months in Kenya during 2020 and oversaw the completion of the houses. One return air travel ticket was covered by Association Kenyan Kids.
Zablon Mambo oversaw the purchase of the land, and project managed the buildings in their entirety.
Two girls were admitted to high schools in January 2020, having excelled in their Kenya Certificates of Primary Education.
Enfants Kenya held no fundraising events during 2020 due to Covid restrictions.
For their service throughout 2020, grateful thanks go, our trustees and treasurer in the UK, also to the trustees of Association Kenyan Kids, Wendy Buckley and Guy Evans in France alongside treasurer Dave Stevenson. In Kenya, a special mention goes to Zablon Mambo, Associate Director of the Familia Foundation and Sheila Awinja of the Familia CBO, whose commitment and hard work make all of this possible.
