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

Achievements and performance
As in 2022, 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 in Kenya, Familia, throughout 2022, 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.
Additionally, we took in one boy who suffers from Cerebral Palsy.
In the future, we expect to continue financial support through the provision of grant funding to these and possibly other similar community organisations (see above) who are able 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.
Julie visited Kenya twice during 2022. During April, a nursery school was built for local children. Currently, there are 27 children enrolled. Julie spent her second visit monitoring and supervising the previous arrangements but also overseeing a schedule of care for the child with Cerebral Palsy.
For their service throughout 2021, 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.
