FUNDS GO TOWARD:
----Kawangware Street Children and Youth Project----
Former street kids started Kawangware Street Children and Youth Project (KSCYP) to provide positive opportunities for the children of Kawangware, a slum bordering Kenya’s capital Nairobi. Locally managed, KSCYP strives to get youth off the streets and offers economic and performance activities. The profits generated help support the youth workers’ basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care and education, while also taking care of the community’s orphaned and vulnerable children.
NextAid has joined forces with KSCYP by committing to seek funds for the construction of an eco-friendly, multipurpose facility for the project’s micro-business. Make a donation @ http://www.nextaid.org/donation.htm .
--- “Send a Child To School” with goGogetters
NextAid is working with the well-respected South African organization, loveLife, to be the beneficiary of our “Send a Child to School” campaign. goGogetters is a loveLife program to support the many grandmothers (gogos) who have been dedicating their old-age years to the wellbeing of orphans and vulnerable children. NextAid is raising funds for the schooling needs of some of the most vulnerable children who participate in the goGogetters program. All it takes is $75 to fund one child’s education for an entire year. This donation will ensure that a child is equipped with a school uniform, shoes and school supplies.
To participate, please note “goGogetters when making a donation @ http://www.nextaid.org/donation.htm.
