£1800 for Nyandiwa!

12/4/2016

Our sponsored event has raised over £1800 for Nyandiwa School (and a similar amount for Sport Relief).

This is tremendous!

We have paid the money in to the Amani UK account and the Amani team will be speaking to the school to discuss their priorities for using the funds. Amani will also be able to use our 'Gift Aid' funds to support some of the charities core costs in Kenya, such as supporting Leonard, the schools liaison officer who supports the link between our two schools. We will update you once we have heard from Kenya to let you know how the money will be spent.

We have also sent an 'A to Z' of Buckingham Park School for our friends at Nyandiwa.

About Nyandiwa

We are privileged to be linked with a school in western Kenya, Nyandiwa Primary School. Nyandiwa is situated about 3.5 kilometres from the town of Oyugis.

Nyandiwa School is very different to Buckingham Park, but there are many similarities too. Nyandiwa is a large primary school with a nursery and a department for children with special educational needs.

The link is enabled through a charity called Amani UK (www.amaniuk.org.uk). Amani UK is a registered UK charity, operating on a totally voluntary basis. With the Trustees meeting ALL expenses, overheads are nil and 100% of money donated goes to help the people of Kenya. So with that in mind, we will, where we are able, raise small amounts of funds to help our link school.

We will be looking into exciting ways of forging a strong partnership with our link school and developing a good friendship with the children, staff and families of Nyandiwa School.
