Fundraiser - Mary's 50th Birthday Fundraiser

Story

My Family and friends

I will be celebrating my 50th birthday on the 4th of April.

As you prepare to wish me a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" buying me a card, presents or even flowers which I love the most. STOP ✋ ⛔

This year, instead of presents, I would like to go the extra mile by supporting the rural Maasai community of Esilalei through The Bouncing Ball Trust.

They are a UK-registered charity working in partnership with the community of Esilalei, Kajiiado County, in Kenya to empower children and adults through education.

The Bouncing Ball Trust has recently constructed a Community Hall, which I was privileged to participate in the official opening in September 2024. I am fundraising to buy much-needed furniture for the Hall (chairs, tables, etc)

Whatever the amount £10, £15, £20, £30, £50, or even £100, your donation will make a difference to the lives of the children, their families, and the community.

Updates

The chairs are required for Esilalei Community Hall in Kenya. I attended the opening ceremony for the Hall in September 2024, and the community is overjoyed to have a community hall where they can meet.
