Our very favourite news to share! We are pleased to welcome three new schools to the Porridge Clubs programme in Kenya, helping almost 300 additional children regularly go to school.

• Mang’u Special Unit with 30 children

• Nyacaba Special School with 32 children

• Mutiria Primary School with 234 children

The schools were identified by the team at Watoto Kwanza Kenya, who have delivered the first batch of porridge ingredients this morning and they have also worked with Headteachers on some benchmarking activities so they can measure the impact in these new schools moving forward.

Your ongoing support - particularly with initiatives like the Big Give Christmas Challenge - make this possible, so thank you for your generosity.

If you would like to make a donation to this fantastic programme, remember just 9p buys a mug of porridge, so a £9 donation provides porridge for 100 children. £17 provides enough porridge for a child to go to school every day for a year, so they can learn in safety rather than working, scavenging or begging on the streets. Thank you.
