African Children's Fund      

The biggest programme we support is a Porridge Clubs scheme in Kenya which operates in primary schools in and around the town of Thika. Porridge Clubs support children’s education by encouraging school attendance and the completion of primary education. This simple, cost-effective solution to school absence enables 2,500 children to go to school every day rather than working, scavenging or begging on the streets.

Other activities we support range from sanitary towel and educational resource distribution programmes, to legal aid and slum dweller education forums promoting children’s rights.
