We are a small UK charity working in Africa in Mgongeni an urban slum area of Mombasa, Kenya. (Where
we are) We aim to empower the people to take action to improve their environment
and basic facilities. We hope that through training, education, improved healthcare
and a sports programme they will take control of their lives and provide a better future for their families.
The school we found in 2008 had 40 children in
squalid conditions. MSP's school now has 150 poor and orphaned children in a rented
building with a feeding programme. The community now has a new well and mosquito
nets. Women have adult education and health education classes. We have now
purchased a plot of land and we urgently need
to build phase one of our own school to house next year's intake of children.
