We have all worked together for about a year now and, through the incredible generosity of our employers, each of us have had the opportunity to visit Kenya and help the Rafiki Thabo Foundation in Voi. We all decided to get together and challenge ourselves to complete the Three Peaks Challenge and raise money for this wonderful Charity.
Fundraising pageThe Foundations core programme involves providing grants to students to enable them to continue their education at secondary, polytechnic and university levels where otherwise they would be unable to afford the fees. All students supported by the charity have already qualified for their further education by their own merits. Rafiki Thabo simply provide financial assistance to enable them to continue. Alongside this programme, they support the student in other ways which include but not limited to; providing funds for extra resources (e.g. books, stationery etc), supporting the economic development of their wider household, meeting healthcare needs or ensuring they are in a safe and secure home (e.g. that orphans are housed by relatives)
