Join us on this once in a lifetime opportunity to trek 86km through Kenya’s stunning Maasai Mara Nature Reserve and Great Rift Valley and raise much needed funds for Vision Africa.

It’s always interesting for us to learn the various ways in which people have raised funds to support the work of Vision Africa. Recently, we heard of a company that used an annual sporting event to raise a fantastic sum of money and had a great day out in the process.

The Lutheran school was started by church members who came together to give the big population of Kibera children a place they can call a school. Kibera being the largest slum in Sub-Saharan Africa has an estimated population of 1million people where 60% are young people and children. This population has overtaken the education facilities in the area forcing churches, organisations and donors to invest more in education by providing a place for children to learn. These schools are known as non-formal schools and Lutheran School falls under this category.

Our Seed of Hope centre in Kariti, Murang’a, is a great success story. Under the leadership of Headteacher Njambi, the staff and students work hard both in class and in the other activities that sustain the project. Of all the Vision Africa projects, Seed of Hope Kariti has made the biggest steps towards self-sustainability.
