Feeding Programmes: FFT is currently feeding more than 1,000 children every month in a nursery, primary and secondary school, provides much-needed nutrition to the children. FFT say on their website that the meals also act as an encouragement for the children to go to school – increasing their prospects in life by giving them an education. If you buy some jewellery or donate as little as £1.50, this can feed a child for one month.
Scholarship Programme: Primary level education is free for children in Kenya, however, secondary education must be paid for. Many children miss out as a result. FFT set up a scholarship programme in the primary school from where they run their feeding programme and they have managed to extend it to schools throughout Nairobi. Each year, the best performing students have the opportunity to win a £500 scholarship to secondary school and they currently offer 40 children the opportunity.
The charity jewellery website even offers free delivery! Support them by buying something beautiful from here.
