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.

Personal contact to your sponsored child is welcome. You will regularly receive photos of your sponsored child and at least once a year a letter or a drawing. You can send a letter yourself by sending us an email and if someone from our team travels to Kenya, it is also possible to send a letter with them. However, it is also perfectly fine if you do not wish to have direct contact with your sponsored child.
Even though you as a sponsor can have a personal relationship with your sponsored child via letters, it is very important to us that the sponsorship contributions for your sponsored child at Rabai Hope Preparatory School benefit the entire school. The school is jointly funded and the selection of children is based on need.

Only when all the children have sponsors can we operate the school at full capacity - with lessons, good materials and some basic medical coverage.

The school meals are partly financed by the sponsorships for the children at our school. However, this is not enough to provide a balanced diet. With a porridge sponsorship, an egg or fruit sponsorship or a lunch sponsorship, you make it possible for us to offer healthy and filling meals to all the children at the school.

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. A part of your sponsorship contribution also goes towards the overall project to cover the general care of your sponsored child and their family.
To sponsor a child, please fill out the following form. You will then receive all further information from us. You can pay the sponsorship fee monthly, quarterly or annually in advance, preferably as a standing order to our donation account. If the sponsorship fee is more than two months in arrears, we will assume that you wish to give up your sponsorship and will look for new sponsors. You can terminate your sponsorship at any time without giving reasons, but we are of course happy if you would like to support your sponsored child in the long term. If you would like to end your sponsorship, please send us a short message.
Please enter the name of the child you would like to support or leave empty if we shall choose a child for you.

Katana has cerebral palsy, a physical disability. He is about 8 years old and a bright chap, but can only speak little due to his disability.
He was at home until about a year and a half ago, was severely malnourished and weak and was not taken good care of. We he joined our project, we fed him and later enrolled him in a specialised school. He has been attending this school for over a year and also lives there during school hours, under the care of a very loving housemother.
He has developed splendidly since then, taking his first steps, speaking better and being much more lively.
Katana comes from a very poor family in Danicha, we also support his siblings. With the sponsorships for Katana, we finance his school attendance and the necessary equipment and transport, but also physiotherapy and nutritional counselling during the holidays and a share of food for the family so that Katana does not keep losing weight during the holidays.
We therefore need several sponsorships for Katana and regular additional support. Katana has unfortunately lost a sponsor and we still need a sponsorship of 15 euros monthly.

If you can’t see any children above this, all our children currently have sponsors. However, we have a waiting list for sponsors. You are welcome to add your name to this list below, we will then inform you when more children are looking for sponsors and you can consider whether you would like to take on a sponsorship. We would be delighted if you would like to support us in the meantime with a lunch or school sponsorship. You are welcome to convert this into a child sponsorship at a later date.

I would like to join the waiting list

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.

With a school sponsorship, your donation is treated like a sponsorship and enables the school to run and maintain. Your donation benefits all the children at the school.

With a personal sponsorship, your child will eventually leave Rabai Hope Nursery School and transfer to a primary school. With a school sponsorship, you can support the small preschool in Rabai on a permanent basis.

You are welcome to sponsor a school with an amount of your choice. You will receive a donation certificate from us in recognition.
