The Baby Memorial Garden is open to parents who wish to come to a quiet, beautiful place to remember their baby. We are welcoming to all parents and every family no matter the gestation baby was when lost, the reasons or cause or the time since this loss occurred.  We have a Book of Remembrance housed in a small brick built building where you can visit and sit on special days and read your special words or simply remember.

We have been really busy at our new skate school project called The Boarding School, and it's great to be welcoming young people back into the youth centre. We would really like to add to the equipment we have on offer and this donation would enable us to purchase a new Grind Rail! What is it? It's similar to a handrail but much lower to the ground and specifically designed to be skate-able. Made of heavy duty box steel, the rail will be custom made to fit in the skate school and provide endless hours of fun and help young people learn new tricks.

The rail will be dedicated in your name if you wish, or with a personalised message of your choosing.

Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps, located in an arid environment in the northern part of Kenya, are host to over 508,033 refugees and asylum seekers, from which more than the half are children. The camps are located in the north-western region of the country, which has the highest levels of poverty and lowest performance indicators relating to access to quality educational opportunities. 84% of the population in Turkana County, and 73% of the population of Garissa County, lives below the poverty line. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in the country, schools are closing at each pick outbreak and children do not have tools to follow home-learning. With the provision of solar radio, secondary school children will be able to follow live classes all year long.
