Refugee children secure training places (and free lunches)!

During the post-election violence, thousands left their homes and became refugees. Around 3,000 people arrived in Naivasha and are living in tents and being supported by the Red Cross.

40 young refugees have been offered places on courses at the Naivasha Polytechnic. Footsteps has agreed to provide them with lunches during their training in welding, tailoring and motor vehicle mechanics.

Violence simmers again

After nearly six weeks of relative calm, there is growing tension in Kenya again as the political process stumbles.

Inflation is very high in Kenya. At the same time, the exchange rate against sterling has worsened, making a donation of £1 in the UK worth substantially less in Kenya. This is affecting all the work that Footsteps is involved with. Please help as generously as you can.
