Kenya Acorn Project - KAP
 Kenya  |  Research/Dev

To reduce the incidence of death and disease, to promote the health of the population, and to improve the educational attainment of the pre-and primary school children in the area of Ndhiwa, by working in partnership with local communities, Government agencies and other voluntary organisations.

he Kenya Acorn Project was established in 1998, by a group of UK visitors to the Ndhiwa area of Western Kenya, in response to evident community need. Many people in the United Kingdom and in Kenya are involved in KAP. This is to increase fund raising but also to increase awareness of development education within the North East of England, making global links between the two communities in England and Kenya. Our projects include financial donations, hospital equipment, educational materials and UK volunteers, many of whom have visited the project for periods of several weeks to up to six months, and have provided labour, skills and materials to upgrade the physical infrastructure of the Community Hospital and of the five selected schools. To date, fund-raising has targeted mostly individual donations, but has included contributions from the British Army in Kenya, and other supporters.
