About this project

Jonas Kaspar from children's hope home e.V. is responsible for this project
With the Keys Rehabilitation Center Gilgil, we want to form a community center to support the local community. Especially families, children and teenagers with difficult living conditions will be promoted. The school fees and other costs like school uniforms will be paid and lunch for pupils will be cooked in the center and brought to school.
Furthermore, there will be the possibility for drug-addicted adolescents with poor living conditions to rehabilitate. They will live in the center and have an ordered daily life. To give them occupation and support them in their further lifetime, a small polytechnic (school for technical education) will be included in the project. There the adolescents can learn skills to become for example a carpenter.

Gilgil is a separated city. On the one hand, there is one of the most expensive private schools in Kenya and a gated area mostly inhabited by Britains. On the other hand, there is a settlement called Langa Langa where exclusively Kenyans with low income due to lack of employment oppurtunities live. In this area, the community center is settled and in the future in will give the youth new perspectives and chances.

Until August 2021, the Keys Rehabilitation Center known under the name Keys Academy existed in Langa Langa. Unfortunately, we were expelled last summer from the estate which was only rented. The owner wanted to sell it and demolished our buildings. That's why we want to rebuild it now again at an estate which will be available all the time.
In the last year, a lot of work was done. One whole building for the staff was built and we had started with another one for the teenagers. However, it is not yet finished and that's why we need your help. Right now, the walls and the roof are done, but there are a few other construction works necessary to complete the building.

In a first step we want to insert doors and windows and to plaster the walls. The buildings has five big rooms, so there are some costs which have to be covered. For now, we plan with costs around 4275 Euros (4360 dollars).
After this first step is done, a second will follow, where we want to install the ceiling.

We are looking forward to your feedback and your strong support. Even small amounts can help us a lot.
Also sharing this will help a lot and if you know some organisation or institution which can help us we would be very grateful to know.
