We have several permanent projects, for which we continuously need support to be able to maintain.
However we have other projects as well for which we need urgent support to finish as soon as possible.
And there are several projects that are already finished. Thanks a lot for all our friends, sponsors and donors for their support that enabled us to complete all these projects. Without your donations we could not have made it.
If you wish to support any of our ongoing projects, please contact us.
Permanent Projects -FEEDING PROGRAM- Many children in Matopeni go without food or survive on one meal a day and many of the go hungry to bed as parents cannot buy them proper food. If you wish to help us in providing proper feeding for all those kids attending the school or even more, please support our “Feeding program” by donating financial support or food to our school or the rescue home on a regular basis or as a one-time support. Many children do not have sponsors and many times their parents or guardians cannot afford to buy them school uniform, books, pens and other scholastic materials to enable them to learn as others. If you do not want to sponsor one of the needy kids, you can still help them by donating all these above-mentioned things or funds that enables us to buy things that are most needed. For more information on how you can help please contact us. Drilling of Borehole. The school is facing a big challenge of the unreliable availability of clean water and the need for water storage tanks. Water is life – a vital element for human life –, we need it for drinking, cooking and cleaning, and we use it in the toilets as well. Unfortunately the Ingrid education centre school is not getting water reliably from the Nairobi city council water supply unit since the slum is not connected to the sole supply. In such cases, the school is forced to buy water from the street vendors who sell it at a very high price due to the high demand. The drilling of the borehole at IEC will help the school in a big deal, the water will be used at the school day to day usage e.g. cooking, drinking, and general use in the school. The school will vend water to the community at a cheap price hence help the sustainability of the school running expenses. When the borehole is sunk, we would like to extend our pipeline system selling water in the neighborhood houses as this is one of our major sources of incomes that can generate revenue to cover the operational costs and finance our planned developments. Increasing our revenues helps us to operate less dependently on the donations of our kind supporters.

The kindergarten In 2011 we continued receiving help from U.S.A , Liveglobally donated more funds for the school construction The kitchen and the store were completed in January 2014 through a donation of a Liveglobally&wellwishers. Thanks to all who participated in the fundraising and also to the organizations that funded our Construction project so far. However to continue propagating our educational programs that benefit for all the deserving children, we need to build more classrooms that will enable us to guide children up to high school. To continue the project further we still need funds thus we would be very grateful for any generous donations towards our building fund. We also encourage you to organize any fundraising events in your country on our behalf for the second phase of the I.E.C Construction project. 1.
