What we are doing

We (Alex and Agnes) are two friends working for the same company

We are taking our vacation time to go to volunteer with children and adults of CBSM, an non-profit organisation taking care of 250 orphans. We are sure this will be a great learning experience for us, as well as those in Kimilili.

While we are in Kenya, we would like to hold some workshops
  • Agnes is going to hold a business training workshop with several of the women co-ops and youth groups. The workshop participants will learn about and build free emission silos. Agnes will also be working closely with the women co-ops teaching them about the necessary of M&E (monitoring and evaluation) of their on-going projects.
  • Alex, who studied art, will be working with the teachers and children of the CBSM Education Center. She is going to help train the teachers on various methods for teaching art. She will teach the children about collages and hold our first art contest. We plan to publish or print the winning selection as notebooks or postcards.
Further to the workshops we will drive several projects that will ease the lifes of the Kimilily community. These include buying waterpumps (80Euros), building mud ovens (15Euros), building a school kitchen (400Euros) and toilets (400Euros). Furthermore, a new school built of  proper bricks and windows (30'000Euros) is required.

We are looking forward to sharing our life with the Kimilily community.
