Nia Children's Foundation
(UK, 1135226) Browse events
YTD Raised: £195.00Attending school is not a priority for most underprivileged children growing up in developing countries. Many parents cannot afford basic food supplies to feed their families, therefore children spend their days looking for food on the streets rather than attending school and developing an education. Many schools receive little help and so struggle to provide the children with food and basic educational materials. Nia Children’s Foundation works with local African suppliers to provide food supplies and educational materials to non-government run schools in Africa’s poorest areas. This ensures that children attend school and receive regular meals enabling them to become healthier and more focused in class. The word Nia means life’s purpose in Swahili, the language spoken in Kenya. In our eyes ensuring these children are healthy and receiving an education allows them to provide for themselves in the future... this is our life’s purpose. YOUR £5 CAN HELP FEED AND EDUCATE ONE CHILD FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH Over 97% of your donations go directly to paying for the food supplies. NO donations are used in wages or expenses. Our finances are extremely transparent and supporters can see exactly where every single penny of their donations are being spent. Please visit our website for further information about our project.
