Chat Club & Children's Garden Home

‘Chat Club’ links ‘mentor friends’ in the UK with disadvantaged students in schools and orphanages overseas such as Children's Garden Home (CGH). From our chats we know how much these children benefit by connecting to their mentors. We help build their confidence, belief in themselves and improve their English skills. This is what Paul (19) one of CGH’s students has to say: “I am forever grateful for the support that Moses and Sylvia and other generous sponsors have given me since I joined CGH. My wish for other children joining our home is that they have the same opportunity. This year there has been a big increase in the number of children coming to the home, but we lack resources. We need basics including food and personal items such as soap, toothpaste and shoes. We also need salaries for our wonderful teachers. We do all we can to provide for ourselves, by growing healthy vegetables, raising chickens and running a sewing business. Thank you very much for the support and shaping me into who I am today.” How you can help – a small amount of money goes a long way in Kenya. For example, a meal for a child costs just 50p. A stationery kit for a child for a year is £13.30 and toiletries for a girl for a month is £6.35 or £5 for a boy.
