The Saidia Children’s Charity project in Kenya
ETAS’ new Teacher-to-teacher project was successfully launched at the Annual Conference in Sion on 3 February 2024. ETAS member Carol Waites is a long-time supporter of the Saidia Children’s Charity and will act as Fundraising Coordinator.
Saidia Children’s Charity is a safe haven in Gilgil, Kenya. Children who have been abandoned are given a home and looked after until the age of 18 with the goal of preparing them for independence and encouraging further education. Their main teaching language is English.
To find out more about the project, visit the project website. You are warmly invited to stop at the t2t stand at the next ETAS event and to contribute to ETAS’ financial support by suggesting fundraising ideas. In addition, there are opportunities for create friendship and connections via the Saidia Penpals programme: students can learn about life in Kenya and develop their communication skills.
