Barnabas Children Center e.V.
GIVE
The "Barnabas Children Center e.V." is our dearest project - a registered association in Germany to support the school in Kenya!
We are Patrick, Lisa, Joachim, Ronja, Josefine, Annika and Jonathan and are all somehow connected to the school. Before the foundation of the association in October 2019, we partly hardly knew each other, but our common motivation to make a difference in this world unites us. We all work entirely on a volunteer basis and put our hearts and souls into helping the children and staff at Barnabas.
Our ultimate goal is to create a sustainable project in order to make it independent of donations in the long run.
This includes, for example, the construction of solid buildings and wells. We are also very supportive of the large fruit and vegetable plantation, which will produce its own food and also breed rabbits, cows and chickens.
In addition, the children receive further support after they have finished school to enable them to start a career and lead an independent life.
All future measures will also be implemented according to the principle of sustainability.
If you would like to support us, whether with a school sponsorship for a child, as a supporting member of the association or for individual projects, we would be very happy to hear from you. Here you can find more information about the local needs.
