The Isiah Trust

This is my beauitiful 20 year old niece. She lives a comfortable life, works as an accountant, loves her make up and fashions such as Ted Baker

A couple of weeks ago she went to Kenya for 2 weeks to work with orphaned children. She funded her own trip and went to live without basic comforts such as hot water, electricity and tv caring for and teaching the young children. Some of these children live on the local rubbish tips in the area and spend their days and evenings scavenging for food scraps and items that their parents can sell to make money. Her stories of how difficult the children's lives are and how humble they are for the things they do have, has inspired me to choose The Isiah Trust as the chariety to donate to. Further information about the Isiah Trust can be found on their website http://www.isaiahtrust.org/

They are a charity, working to help some of Kenya’s most desperate children find a new beginning. They work on the streets of the 3rd largest city, Kisumu, with children who have no where else to live, children who find their food on rubbish dumps and whose comfort is a glue bottle.

Kisumu is in the Nyanza province of western Kenya, where poverty and disease leave children orphaned and alone, and where the HIV/Aids pandemic is costing a generation of people their lives. Over 70,000 children are orphaned every year in Kenya alone. For some of these children, the streets of the towns and cities are their only hope for survival. And yet in those streets there is danger, sickness and despair. Into this world, the Isaiah Trust is working to bring hope, education, training and a new future. Thinking about others and giving during the period of Ramadam and Eid we have raffle tickets on sale for 50p each to possibly win our chocolate hampers that have kindly been put together by our nursery parents.
