HOW WE HELP

• We help only children where neither parent has a permanent job.
• To enable as many families as possible get help, we support one child in each family.
• We are very tolerant in terms of pupils' achievements, but if it turns out that a pupil has no interest in school, but mostly see it as a place to be there during the day, we discontinue support. This is thankfully very rare.
• Luckily, we receive assistance from the respective school leaders in selecting which children should be admitted to school. But we keep an eye on the children from the poorest families.
• The grants consist of cash but also some smaller gifts that we can take with us to Kenya. The grants are based on people's trust in us. Both flights, hotel accommodation and personal expenses are financed in full extent by ourselves. There are no intermediaries in our project.

The following parishes have supported us in our project:

• Oskarshamns Missionsförsamling
• Oskarshamns Baptistförsamling

The following local clubs of Lions International have supported us in our project:

In 2009, Oskarshamn-Döderhult Rotary Club for the first time founded a scholarship that was directed specifically to young people. The price of 19 500 SEK went that year to our project in Kenya.

We have many times got valuable gifts from the Ladies Lodge Grimhild from Oskarshamn.
