Nyota e.V. - for Children in Africa

The association “Nyota e.V.” from Mannheim, Germany, was founded in 2003 and has provided - with the help of its donors and sponsors – more than 150 school sponsorships for orphans from the region around Lwala in Western Kenya since its foundation. The orphans are taught within the association’s own day care center (kita) and receive a first academic preparation for primary school. Professional and experienced caretakers and teachers are employed and create an environment of learning and playing games.

Our project aims at providing a sustainable contribution within the development cooperation in Western Kenya. However, it is of particular importance to us that the help that is provided contributes to the idea of “help for self-help”. We consider education as a fundamental and important aspect that enables children and the community to leave the
vicious circle of poverty. Therefore, the Nyota-team aims at accepting as many children to its day care center as its capacity allows. Through our work at the day care center and the subsequent submission to primary and sponsored secondary school we try to achieve these goals. The Green Garden Project will help us to assure the permanent supply
with the most important food for the children at our center. „Nyota e.V. – for children in Africa“ is a registered association in Germany and recognized as a charitable body. Nyota provides all sponsors with a receipt of their donation which may be subject to tax allowances in your country (e.g. Germany). All donations are strictly forwarded to our project in Kenya as our team members in Germany work free of charge.
