Umbrella of Hope Chidren Centre Nyeri Kenya

The Umbrella of Hope Foundation objectives are to accommodate, care, empower orphans, abused and neglected children to become healthy responsible citizens through provision of basic education, practical and life skills. Through well-focused programs, managed by skilled and dedicated volunteers and personnel. Umbrella of hope envisions a world of sustainable livelihood for all.

The main goal/objective of Umbrella of Hope is supporting Millennium Development Goals in which a 'full course of primary education' is a basic building block of development aimed at reducing poverty by 2015.
There is free Primary education in Kenya, however for children to be able to attend school they need food, clothing and shelter. Many parents are unable to feed and clothe their children. . Combined with the lack of school materials and poor health, children get disillusioned with school and simply drop out
To ensure that such children continue to go to school the basic life necessities must be in place.
By feeding them we are creating an environment in which young kids have an added incentive to attend classes. Our mission is to help and prevent them into becoming street children where they would turn into criminals or end up in child labour

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.
