Fumbini Special Unit is a public school in Kenya that is rented by an association that supports disabled children. Very poor families in particular cannot afford wheelchairs, let alone the school fees for these special children. Therefore, the association GABEKA (Harambee in Austria) supports families to enable the children to live a dignified life. What we do: Purchase of wheelchairs, co-financing of therapies, support with food supply,

It mainly affects the POOREST of the POOREST. Heat and drought, especially Kenya in many regions of Africa, have been hit hardest. The organization GAPEKA (in Austria HARAMBEE) helps not only the children and families in their school, but also members of the community and regularly distributes food parcels and helps with water supply - provision of water and financing of wells.

Charity visits the baby class of the Hope Integrated School in Kilifi/Kenya, a partner school of the Kilifi Vonwald School. (www.harambee.at) Charity has recently lost her sponsor and is looking for a new sponsor(s). We want to pay the school fees in this group for the time until they have new sponsors. Since there are always children who do not have godparents, we will then introduce a new child for whom we will use the money.
