Sadly, fire is all too common in the Kibera slum where most people cook using bottled gas or wood fires.  Electrical fires are also common as people hook a link to a nearby transformer.

Unfortunately, we have two children who have recently been affected by fire.  Their home was gutted before local residents were able to put the fire out (no fire engine coming to the rescue in the slum).  The two girls, aged 5 and 7, who attend school at Future Stars, lost everything.

Can you donate today so Chaffinch can replace the girls’ school uniforms and books, and help the family to get back on their feet?

 We’ve met our original target!!! We raised money for 100 books so thank you so much for the donations. We have therefore decided to stretch it so more children can have books and lessons will become easier to teach with less pupils sharing each book.  Could you help with a donation for new textbooks? Each text book costs an average of £4.50.
