Report on Activities
In 2024 RCBO focused on paying school fees and uniforms for all the children still completing school through sponsorship but decided not to take on any more children long term. Apostle June Hyatt and Pastor Joan Myers went to Kenya in 2024 and 2025 to review the work. RCBO is registered as a NGO in Kenya under the new name of Joan Myers Foundation (JMF). In July 2025 the land in Kenya was rededicated and rebranded and is now called Joan Myers Foundation (JMF) and Kevin Oloo (deceased) name was removed.
A large part of the money spent in 2025 went towards architect and designer fees for blueprints for the buildings that will be built on land - health centre, church and nursery school. Finances have gone towards paying the lawyer’s fees to get change of name on land papers, which was successfully achieved in November 2025. Two agents were employed in Kenya to ensure the smooth running and proper governance of work there. An administrator for the school work and a Project manager regarding issues to the do with the land, paperwork, architect etc.
A fundraising event was held in May 2025 and Joan launched her first book at the same time. The proceeds from the book sale will be dedicated to JMF to go toward the work in Kenya.
RCBO has applied to Charity Commissioners approved the name change from RCBO to JMF on 7[th] January 2026 and bank account name has been changed to reflect this.
