Gathimba Edwards Foundation aims to provide as many Kenyan children as possible with the opportunity of a bright future.

We do this through:
Education
House Building
Food & Farming
Psychosocial Support

We also support children in Scotland with severe disabilities via the Neil Jaffrey Initiative.

Since we began

580 CHILDREN SUPPORTED
50 NEW HOMES BUILT
2689 SEMINAR ATTENDEES
289 NEW BEDS PROVIDED
But there is still more that needs to be done.

47% OF CHILDREN IN KENYA DO NOT ENROL IN SECONDARY SCHOOL.
1 in 2 CHILDREN WERE SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR PRIOR TO RECEIVING GEF SUPPORT.
1 million GIRLS MISS AN AVERAGE OF 4 SCHOOL DAYS EVERY MONTH BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO SANITARY PADS
