About

We first became aware of the difficulties around secondary school education in summer 2021 during a trip to Kenya. Poor children are expected to pay for boarding school, travel randomly around the country and buy lots of items such as mattresses, blankets, trunks, uniforms, textbooks, bedsheets and lots more before they can get a decent education. 

We started sponsoring 52 students in secondary and tertiary education last year and are so grateful to the sponsors who came forward to help them. We now have a lot more children who all belong to rubbish scavenger families in Dandora slums in Nairobi who need sponsorship.

It only costs £270 on average per child for the short academic year from April to December 2022. Please donate if you can (and what you can) and help change a child's life! These children literally have nothing and they/their families scavenge through rubbish to eke out an existence. They have been identified by a rescue centre run by local slum residents that does not have the resources to pay but tries its best to help.💜😊💜

Supporting

Help Change Lives

Help Change Lives is a UK charity whose purpose is the prevention or relief of poverty worldwide. We are regulated by the UK Charities Commission and are registered with HMRC for Gift Aid.

We support underprivileged families and children directly in Kenya, providing education and vocational skills, food, water, clothing, shelter, health aids, income generating opportunities and counselling.

We distribute reusable pad kits along with education to help reduce period poverty, and aim to expand this to other countries. We are refurbishing a large run-down school in Nairobi's Kangemi slum.

We also support projects in Kenya, India, Uganda, Tanzania, Liberia and Malawi by working in partnership with other trusted charities and individuals to enable us to increase our scale and impact. Our focus so far has been on helping street children, differently abled children, providing Covid food and hygiene support, supporting school feeding programmes and providing books to schools.

All the work in the UK is done by volunteers. We have very low admin costs that are covered in full by trustee donations. Our website is www.helpchangelives.org.uk and we are also active on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. Thank you so much for your support.
