The Kanamai Development Trust aims to support community projects in Kenya's Kanamai Ward through three main activities: operating the Little Angels School, running a clinic, and supporting local farming. The Trust was established in 2007 and focuses on improving education by building new school facilities, providing meals and supplies to students, and raising the school to an academy level. It also aims to improve healthcare by stocking medicines at its clinic and performing minor operations with local surgeons. Additionally, the Trust supports farming by building wells, supplying water infrastructure, and providing land, bicycles, and chicken coops to help villagers grow crops and become self-sufficient.

4. Established in 2007, The Kanamai Development
Trust aims to support community projects
within the Kanamai Ward of Kenya.
It focuses on three main activities:
The Little Angels School
The Clinic
The Farm
7. The story – in the village of Mabambani….we
found a school.
Three classes divided by sheets in a tin shed and it
was hot, sticky and very noisy
But the children were happy, listening to their
teacher and singing to us.
8.
9. A tin shed as a classroom by European
standards would not be fit for animals. So the
charity looked to change that:
We have now built new classrooms, a small kitchen
and a staff room
We now pay salaries of 7 teachers, a caretaker and a
janitor
We have supplied all the desks, books, and pencils
needed
10.
11. Improving the school is one thing but
improving the environment for the children
was another:
We now have sponsored children
The children enjoy two meals a day
We have resurfaced the playground and provided
swings
We have purchased 120 pairs of sandals to stop
children getting parasites in their feet
15. Using Dr Walker the charity looks to help by
providing a medical clinic:
We now stock medicines, including the usual
children medicines
We aim to see as many patients as possible when
visiting region
We aim to carry out minor operations with the help
of local surgeons
16. We aim to eradicate parasites, known as „jiggers‟
through basic medication
We have brought across nurses and doctors from the
UK to help
19. It all started with a football:
We were asked if we would buy a football for a local
village
We discovered a broken well
We paid for a pump and for the well to be fixed
As a result the villagers had access to
clean, fresh water and cleared a plot of land
next to the well, and started to sow crops for
themselves
20. Since then…….
We have completed three other wells in other
villages, and supplied tanks and pipe work for
connection to the mains water supply in another
We have worked with a local association to purchase
a plot of land, which with a well means they can
grow crops and make a living
We have supplied bicycles to enable workers to travel
easily to work
We have started a chicken coop
22. There are many ways you can help the trust
Sponsor a child
Sponsoring specific projects
One-off sponsorship
This list is not exhaustive and we are always
looking at ways we can raise money and
support the work being done.
