DIRECT LINK CAN OFFER YOU ...

• The opportunity to become a sponsor for as little as £12.00 per month for a primary school child or £25.00 per month for a child to attend secondary school. You are put in direct contact with a child, with no large central administrative organisation in between. You write to your sponsored child and he/she answers in English, DIRECT TO YOU. For less than the price of a packet of cigarettes or a bottle of wine per week, your child can be assisted to go to a school which he/she would otherwise be unlikely to be able to attend.

• The wonderful satisfaction of receiving letters from the 'real people' of Kenya, hearing about their problems, their achievements, their hopes and, unfortunately, sometimes their tragedies.

• Why not help-a-granny? For as little as a £10.00 donation you can help-a-granny by buying her a mattress, a mosquito net, some medication, a new wrap or a sweater for colder weather.

Mama Wilfrida received a beautiful top    from her sponsor and she was so   excited that she hardly knew what to do!

• The privilege of refurbishing a home for a family in order to give them a more secure future and to keep them dry during the rainy season. Frequently the children's beds are soaked by rainwater pouring through the roofs.
  
  
• The chance to help a family, decimated by the AIDS virus, to receive a cow so that the children can drink milk before going to school. Local cows are preferable as they are hardier and easier to look after. Each cow will not only produce milk but may also bear a calf, thus continuing the cycle.
  
  
• The holiday of a lifetime. Why not take time off and visit your sponsored child? See how he/she is getting on at school. Visit the school and even help with some of the activities there.
  
  
  
• Information on how to 'twin' your school, group or organisation with a similar one in Kenya.
  
  
• Do your birthday or Christmas shopping on this website! Purchase one of our Gifts of Hope and you will be sent an attractive certificate, tied up with ribbon, to send to your loved one, showing them what you have purchased on their behalf. If you choose to sponsor a child on their behalf, they can write to 'their' child and strike up a lifelong friendship.
