Underlying everything we do are our core values of:- ACCEPTING people as they are SUPPORTING those ready to move to a more independent life INCLUDING people in society by the provision of ongoing care for those who are not ready, or whose life experiences have left them unable to live independent of support.

Jersken Little Angels Home
(UK, 421) Browse events
YTD Raised: £488.00Our aim is to help orphaned children by providing a home, family, care and education. We are based in both Jersey and Kenya, with our first recently built home just beyond the outskirts of Nairobi. We believe education is the key to self-sufficiency. That is why we place such a strong emphasis on educating the children. Without such emphasis, any assistance would simply be a band aid solution and not fix the long-term problems affecting these areas. We help our children reach new heights by inspiring them to develop the desire and capacity to break the cycle of poverty and to become the best that they can be. It is our goal to develop future leaders among these children so that one day they can help make their country self-sufficient. We must obtain on-going funding for the maintenance of the children and future paid staff. We started with just three children and volunteer helpers. Please help us help more.
