Sponsor a child
We would be happy if you would like to sponsor a child in Rabai, Kenya. With your sponsorship, you make it possible for your sponsored child to attend school. You can read more about the school on our About Us page. On this page here you can find children who are still looking for sponsors. These children attend either the Rabai Hope Nursery School or a primary school and would be happy to find a sponsor.
If the child attends Rabai Hope Nursery School in PP 1 (first year) or PP 2 (second year), he/she will later transfer to a public primary school. You are welcome to continue supporting the child, the sponsorship fee remains the same. You can find out more about the school system and what happens after primary school on the About Us page.
The sponsorship for a child is 20 Euros per month, a shared sponsorship of 10 Euros per month is also possible. You can choose a child to sponsor or we can suggest a child to you. All the children we present here urgently need the support of sponsors.
We are happy to provide you with a donation receipt, donations to kila mtoto e.V. are tax deductable in Germany and most European countries. Please consult your tax office in case of questions.
Only when all the children have sponsors can we operate the school at full capacity - with lessons, good materials, school meals for the children and perhaps even health insurance for all. As not all children have sponsors yet, we start with the most important thing - the lessons. 10 of our children need sponsors to cover the minimum costs. As soon as more children have sponsors, we will consider together with the Kenyan team how to use the donations wisely for the children.
If your sponsored child attends a primary school, the sponsorship contribution will be used to cover the costs of your sponsored child's school attendance.
Kassim is a boy, 4 years old and will be joining our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1. The family has three children and is very keen to give the children a good childhood. The father works as a stonemason, but only has irregular work and a very small income. The mother grows some vegetables for the family. The older sister already goes to school and Kassim shares a bed with her with a very old mattress.

Erick is a boy, 4 years old and will be joining our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1. Erick’s father is a day laborer and his mother works as a domestic help in a neighboring village. They both find it very difficult to organize enough to eat and send all the children to school. After all, they have managed to send the oldest four children to school with a great deal of effort, but the money would simply not be enough for Erick. A sponsorship would be a great relief for the family. The family has a bed, but the mattress only consists of individual pieces of foam, which are therefore placed on the floor to sleep on.
A sponsorship for Erick is 20 euros per month.
Imran will also be joining us at the school in January 2025 and will then be looking for sponsors. His parents work hard but are unable to afford the school fees for their children as well as food. The father works as a stonemason in Mombasa and does extremely hard work, but earns very little. He is not there during the week. The mother earns some extra money by fetching water and washing clothes for others. She usually uses this money to buy something to eat to make ends meet for herself and the children. There are two older siblings who go to school, but where the school fees are already more expensive, making it increasingly difficult for the parents, and a younger sister. The children do not have a bed, but sleep three to a bed on an old mattress on the floor. Sponsors for Imran would be great – then he can go to school and have the chance of a better life.
A sponsorship for Imran is 20 euros per month.
Abdallah is a boy, 4 years old and comes to our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1. Abdallah is half-orphaned, his father is deceased.

A sponsorship for Abdallah is 20 euros a month.
John is 4 years old and will join our school in January 2025, in the first year of preschool, called PP 1. He was a little overwhelmed during the family visit, hence his very skeptical look in the photo. John is an only child, the family lives in a mud hut, John sleeps in his parents’ bed. His father works as a day laborer in Mombasa and tries to get new jobs as a cleaner every day. His mother has taken care of John so far and does not work. The father barely brings home enough money for food, it would not be enough for the school fees.
A sponsorship for John is 20 euros a month.
Imani is 4 years old and will join our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1. Imani has an older sister and a little baby brother. Her mother takes care of the children, while her father works as a day laborer at a nearby factory. This means that the factory hires workers when work is available, but there is no permanent employment. This makes the income completely unpredictable and despite the hard work, it is too little to even put enough food on the table, let alone send the children to school. The family lives in a mud hut and the five of them share a bed.
A sponsorship for Imani costs 20 euros a month.
Yassir is 4 years old and will join our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1.

Unfortunately, the family lost their house recently when it broke down, therefore, they live in a single room with the grandmother. They don’t own a bed, so a bed for them would be much appreciated.
Yassir already has a (partial) sponsor and still needs a half sponsorship of 10 euros per month.
Faida is a girl, 4 years old and will be joining our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1. Faida has an older brother.

Shamsa is 4 years old and will join our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1. Shamsa’s father had a good job in an office, but since he lost it, the family can barely make ends meet because he simply cannot find a new job. Shamsa has a little sister.

Zuhura is 4 years old and joins our school in January 2025, in the first year of pre-school, called PP 1. Zuhura’s father works as a day laborer in a nearby steel factory. This means that he stands in front of the factory gate every morning, hoping to get work for the day. Sometimes it works out, often it doesn’t and on those days he has no income. This makes it difficult to plan and provide for the family. The parents have only just been able to send their 6-year-old brother to school, and it would be very difficult to send another child to school. There is also a younger sister, so the mother stays at home and looks after the children. The family lives in a mud hut, Zuhura sleeps with her brother on a mattress on the floor.
A sponsorship for Zuhura costs 20 euros a month.

There is no proper air supply and they cook in the same room where they sleep. The whole family sleeps on a mat on the floor. There are two siblings, the eldest brother lives with his grandmother because he also goes to the 3rd grade of a primary school there. The father is a day laborer, but can hardly find work. His mother cooks samosas in front of the hut and sells them to passers-by and pupils at a nearby school.

Aziza has four siblings and although her father is only a day laborer, the family has managed with great difficulty to send the three oldest children to school. However, the older sister has now switched to secondary school, which is much more expensive and so there is no money left for school fees for the two youngest children. As education is important to the parents, they have asked us for help for Aziza.
A sponsorship for Aziza is 20 Euros per month.
Lunch sponsorship. If we manage to offer a healthy lunch in addition to breakfast, we know that our children are full and well supplied with nutrients and vitamins.
For 12 euros, we can provide a child with a varied and healthy lunch for a month. This includes healthy ingredients such as rice, beans and vegetables. We also use this money to pay for our cooks and the necessary kitchen utensils.
You are free to choose how much you would like to donate each month as a lunch sponsor.
You will receive a donation certificate from us in recognition. And you know that thanks to your help, a child gets a healthy meal every day.
School sponsorship. Would you like to support Rabai Hope Nursery School on a regular basis without sponsoring a specific child? That is of course also possible – with a school sponsorship.
