## **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 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 2023, was giving full time care for the needs of twelve girls. This consisted of food, accommodation, education and health care. 

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 2023. During April, she supervised the building of three new classrooms for Arc en Ciel Academy. A school will be ready to welcome Primary Grade 1 children in January 2024.  Julie was joined on her second visit by Zablon Mambo who managed various building renovation projects, at the school and on the farm. 

We are pleased to give the following updates. 

- Three additional girls were accepted into our school program, and for the moment live in the rescue home. 

- Two of our older girls joined Kenya’s National Youth Service 



- Two graduated from high school 

- One girl joined University studying Bachelor’s in Education 

For their service throughout 2023, 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.
