KCDN Child Support Initiative

In our continuing efforts at mobilizing support for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, we want to appeal for your support to make this Initiative proactive.

Last year on June 15th during the KCDN Embakasi Peace Run, we were able to mobilize support for Exercise books for pupils at Tumaini Primary School in Umoja. We were grateful to Text Book Centre Ltd for having given us 1000 exercise books, some story books and some text books.

We were encouraged also by the support we were given by SGS Kenya Ltd, Rachier & Amolo Advocates, Mini Bakeries [Nairobi] Ltd, Rodgers Orero [UK] and Jairus K'Onyiego [US] to help make the Peace Run be a success.

On 5th of December 2008, we were able to mobilize support for the 250 children in the KCDN Child Support Initiative. With support from Phoenix Aviation Ltd, Capital Airlines Ltd, Tetra Pak [EA] Ltd, Express Connections Ltd, The Cradle, Taxplus Consult Ltd, Aristocrats Insurance Brokers Ltd, Mr Chacha Odera, Mr Lenny Amolo, Ms Irene Ngugi [SA], Mr Regem Lugonzo, and Ms Elisabeth Onyango, we were able to buy for the children some parts of the uniforms from Uniform Distributors, and books and stationery from Text Book Centre Ltd.

This year, we have been able to receive support from Mr Matunda Nyanchama [US], Mr John Maina [US], Dr Paul Nyandoto [Finland] and the staff at Barclays Bank of Kenya at Haile Selassie Avenue Branch led by Ms Irene Wasike.

We have a lot of ground to cover this year, and we would be happy if you can join us in this marathon and help create some change for our children. We need exercise books, assorted stationery, uniforms, shoes, socks, school bags, things that the children need in class.

We witness the kind of poverty amidst us on a daily basis. Parents throng our offices for help for their children to go to school. Few cases get the kind of media attention that triggers some response, while majority of cases are not reported. We meet with them on a daily basis.

If you can offer some little support to drive our initiative forward, kindly reach to us and help put a smile on the faces of these children.

Lastly, hunger is real. We are witnessing tales of families going hungry for days, and when they are able to get some food, it is simply not sufficient for the whole family. Let us join together to alleviate, at our personal levels, the pain our sisters and brothers are going through. If we can mobilize some bags of rice and bales of unga, it would do the parents some good.
