Step Up. Be an Angel. Give Water to a community in Africa....
There has been a devastating drought in Kenya for the last 4 years so that almost 10 million people were on the verge of starvation in the rural areas before the rains broke through early this year. As a result of the length of the drought, most of the poor have lost all their livestock and are without means to start new herds. Over the next year they will still need help to feed their children.
Global Angels Board members, Molly and Daniel Bedingfield, have recently returned from filming in Kenya with some very exciting news after visiting two projects which have received funding from Global Angels. The projects will provide safe, clean water for 108,000 people and all their animals for the next 20 years!!!
We are now providing water for around 6,000 people in tiny villages in a remote part of the Kajiado district of the Masai Mara and in Northern Kenya, we have funded a water purification project for a community 102,000 people. Water is pumped from the River Thika to the purification plant and after being filtered and cleansed, safe clean water is pumped through pipes to the surrounding rural community.

Our on-the-ground partner, MCF, also cares for more than 2,000 street kids and orphans. Over this next year they are also providing an emergency feeding program for 3,000 school children from the surrounding farming community.
Additionally they provide education on sustainable farming for the 100,000 local community in the region. As one of the main providers of organic French beans to Europe, MCF is a leader in sustainable charity projects in Africa, and is able to cover 40% of the running costs for the children’s home… a remarkable feat!
Global Angels and MCF are currently planning the next phase of development in the region. We would love to engage your support to help us provide further access to fresh water for the local community and emergency feeding for 3,000 school children over the next year till the farming community can recover from the effects of the drought.
