Andreas R. (Project Manager)

The Morning Star Children Centre is a school in the village Bombolulu, near Mombasa (Kenya). All in all there are five schools, ChildrenCentres and primary Schools. About 5000 adults live in the Village.The number of Children in the Village is much higher and not determined. Only a few of them have the opportunity to visit school regulary.

I was very happy to visit this school twice, to meet the children, the local teachers and the helpers and supporters of this little island of education. These people have a vision and do their job with heart and soul.

The school is in need of certain things, schooldesks and chairs for the children, schoolbooks, etc... "Actually there are so many things needed for the school apart from the desks, because we need to construct more classrooms to accommodate more children in future and also construct more dormitories for the orphan children to sleep in, those are the major ones. Others are the normal things like the text books, blackboards and cooking utensils for the Orphans, which I will give you the details after sitting for the next general meeting on 27th September 2009" (extract from an email of Mr. E.Oginga.,morningstarchildrencentre@yahoo.com )

All these children need a good education and baseknowledge, especially in their early years, to devolp a strong personality and to know what's right and wrong for their further life.

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you – or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

Hallo mein Name ist Johanna. Ich bin 17 Jahre alt und würde wahnsinnig gerne volunteerarbeit in kenia machen. Ich will allerdings nicht mit einer dieser Organisationen fahren, weil die meistens nur auf ihren eigenen Profit bedacht sind. Ich wollt fragen ob mir hier jemand Tipps geben kann, wie ich direkt zu einem Kontakt in Kenia kommen kann. Danke!
