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 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.
Sandra is 14 years old, comes from an extremely poor family and has a serious heart condition. Thanks to many donors, we were able to arrange heart surgery for Sandra – three heart valves were replaced and Sandra received a pacemaker. We are now looking for heart sponsors for Sandra to cover her medical aftercare. Sandra already has one medication sponsor, but we will need additional heart sponsors for Sandra to cover her regular follow-up examinations. You can sponsor Sandra’s heart care for any amount you wish.

Husna is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. Husna is the youngest of four children. Her eldest brother, Juma, is nine years old and has a disability. Although he has a place at a school for children with disabilities, his parents have been unable to pay the school fees (there is a relatively large amount outstanding), so he is currently at home. We will also look for sponsors for Juma. The two middle children go to school, but their parents simply cannot afford the school fees for Husna as well; they urgently need help. Both parents dropped out of school after primary school. The father works as a day labourer on construction sites, which is incredibly hard work, and the mother helps out in a hair salon and braids hair, but even so, they barely have enough money for food and other necessities. You can also see it in the ‘bed’ – the children sleep on an old mattress on the floor and urgently need a bed with a mattress. The family’s house is only half finished, there are no windows and no kitchen, they share the toilet with other families, and access to water is very poor because they cannot afford to buy tap water.

Rashid is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. Rashid is the youngest in the family – so far, the family has managed to send his three older siblings to school, but the eldest, Aisha (16), who is supposed to be in secondary school, is currently at home because they cannot afford the school fees. Therefore, the family urgently needs help for Rashid. Rashid likes to play football – like almost all boys in Kenya. His father had to drop out of school after primary school and now works as a day labourer on construction sites. His mother never went to school, is illiterate and takes care of the children. The father has great difficulty feeding the family and sending the children to school, even though the family considers education important and has always tried to enable their children to attend school. The family lives in a makeshift hut with a rusty tin roof, and the children sleep on a broken bed with an old mattress – help would be welcome here too.

Hajji is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. Hajji is a bright little boy from a young family. His parents try very hard, but it is difficult to break the cycle of poverty. Due to a lack of school fees, his father only attended school for 8 years and his mother for 5 years. The father tries to find work as a day laborer at the nearby steel factory—every morning he stands in front of the factory gate, often having to go home without work. The family does not have enough to eat every day and cannot afford the school fees. The family lives in a tiny hut with one bed, but the mattress is completely worn out.

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.
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.
