We are working hard to ensure the vulnerable children in our care are not deserted as we wind up Uzima in Our Hands in line with the completion of our Five Talents project in November 2024. Both the pandemic and Joy's visit in early 2022 have propelled us into a position of handing over to experienced local charities in Kenya. We are currently working with two charities - Rise to Shine and Foundation for Tomorrow in Kenya to hand over and continue to provide for three areas - Special Needs children, Vulnerable Primary School children from Uzima and the surrounding area and Secondary School children that we provide scholarships for.


We plan to share with you far more about how you can support these charities in their valuable work in the future and all the arrangements that we are in the process of making to ensure your financial support is used wisely at the moment. We will send out a Newsletter in November and have a meeting that everyone can attend to get an update in the Spring of 2023.


Thank you for your much appreciated ongoing support.

Due to the current health crisis it it unlikely that we will be able to give a public presentation on Uzima anytime soon. Therefore this previous presentation recording is available to watch and listen to.
