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.
Abubakar is four years old and will start PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. Abubakar’s father works as a day labourer to support his family. It is very difficult for him to earn enough to provide for his family. Often, they only have corn porridge for breakfast and dinner – if they are lucky, they get some cabbage or spinach with their evening meal. The family does not own any land, so they cannot grow their own food. The family gets water from a nearby pond. They live in a small mud hut without windows, and Abubakar and his 8-year-old sister sleep on an old mattress on the floor. So, in addition to the sponsorship, we would like to buy a bed for the children.
You can sponsor Abubakar for 20 Euro per month. This will enable Abubakar to attend school, receive healthy school meals and the necessary equipment for school.
Franklin is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. His mother is a single parent after his father left her for another woman. As the family lost their home as a result, they moved in with his grandmother, who also lives with an uncle and his children. Franklin sleeps in the same bed as his uncle’s children. Franklin himself has no siblings. His mother works as a day labourer, going around looking for jobs washing and cleaning, but the income from this is minimal and not enough to survive on.
You can sponsor Franklin for 20 Euro per month. This will enable Franklin to attend school, receive healthy school meals and the necessary equipment for school.
Imthias is eight years old and attends Sahajanand Special School. He has a disability, has difficulty walking, lacks muscle strength and hardly speaks. He has a place at a good school for disabled children, but the school fees and costs for the necessary school equipment far exceed what his parents can afford. He is Firdhaus’s brother. Both parents left school after primary school; his father is a day labourer and his mother looks after the children. The family lives in a half-finished house with poor ventilation.
You can sponsor Imthias for 30 Euro a month. This will enable Imthias to attend school, receive healthy school meals and the necessary equipment for school.
Shaban is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. Shaban lives with his 9-year-old sister and their single father. Their mother left the family and remarried. Their father had to drop out of school because he couldn’t afford the fees and now works as a day laborer on construction sites. Their grandmother often looks after the children. The father has difficulty providing for the family and sending both children to school, so he has asked for help for Shaban. The children sleep on an old mattress on the floor; a bed would be a great help.
Shaban already has one sponsor, he still needs a sponsorship over 10 Euro per month. This will enable Shaban to attend school, receive healthy school meals and the necessary equipment for school.
Shaima is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. Her father left the family, and her single mother is now living with Shaima and a baby at her grandmother’s and uncle’s house. However, they sleep in the entrance hall on old plastic sacks, so it would be good if we could donate a bed; there is space for it.
You can sponsor Shaima for 20 Euro per month. This will enable Shaima to attend school, receive healthy school meals and the necessary equipment for school.
Hassan is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. He has a seven-year-old brother. Their father died, and the family lost their home. Their mother moved in with her two children to live with their grandmother. They live there in a small hut with a tin roof. They have no bed, so the mother sleeps with her two children on an old mattress on the floor – it would therefore be good if we could buy them a bed. The mother works at a small market stall, trying to earn some money for everyday living expenses – but it is never really enough. The family has to buy water – 20 litres cost 15 pence.
You can sponsor Hassan for 20 Euro per month. This will enable Hassan to attend school, receive healthy school meals and the necessary equipment for school.
Rachael is four years old and will be joining PP 1 at our preschool in January 2026. She also has a sad story. Her father disappeared somehow, her mother remarried but was not allowed to bring the child into the new marriage, so Rachael now lives with her grandmother and an uncle. She shares a bed with her cousins. The family lives in a mud hut, but at least they have a separate kitchen. We are urgently looking for sponsors for Rachael so that she can go to school; without help, this would probably not be possible. During our visit to her family, she played very creatively with a piece of plastic, so she will surely love the building blocks at our school.
You can sponsor Rachael for 20 Euro per month. This will enable Rachael to attend school, receive healthy school meals and the necessary equipment for school.
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.
