(UK, 1132789) Browse eventsThe Eating Stones Fund UK was established in April 2007 by an international development student from Leeds University, after spending time working with a social development group and HIV/AIDs clinic in an area of slum dwelling on the edge of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. The people in Kenyas slums are affected by poverty and sickness every day of their lives. As a result adults are unable to work, children become malnourished and many are orphaned. They desperately need help. Currently operating an orphanage which is home to 48 of Kenyas most vulnerable young people along with a primary school, clinic and with several community projects in the pipe line Eating Stones has become well known as a project that is succeeding in its mission to relieve poverty and provide the opportunity of a better life for those who would otherwise be without. At Eating Stones we feel that country, city, town, community and individual specific programmes are key in relieving poverty which is why all of our work in Kenya is tailored to the particular needs of all involved. As a relatively small charity we greatly rely on the hard work of those who put on events or collect money through sponsorship.
