THE ASSOCIATION, ITS FRIENDS AND WELL WISHERS TOOK TO THE MOUNTAIN DURING ITS 2024 CSR HIKE
In a bid to create awareness on the existence of families living in dumpsites scavenging through waste to survive and the need to transform their lives and break the cycle of poverty for the vulnerable children, the Association in partnership with its members, friends, families and well-wishers took to Menengai Crater on a hike in its 2024 CSR. The hike was dedicated to ACTIONS NOT WORDS FOUNDATION an organization that supports children living at Nakuru dumpsite famously known as GIOTO to provide education, healthcare, nutrition and a safe environment.
More than 60 participants present led by the AEA Chairman Mr. Kirimi Mpungu and the CEO Mr. Wesley Siele covered the entire 15 Km terrain knowing the cause it was meant for. By each step taken, there was an urge and a motivation to do more as it meant keeping a kid in school, providing a meal or medical bills being settled through the awareness created.
Actions Not Words Foundation is an organization that is passionately committed to transforming lives through their various programs, working tirelessly to provide education, healthcare, nutrition, and a safe environment for children who would otherwise be trapped in dire conditions.
One of the Actions Not Words Foundation flagship initiatives is their work at the Nakuru dumpsite, where they are making an extraordinary impact on the lives of over 100 children. These children come from families that survive by scavenging through waste, living in extreme poverty with little hope of accessing basic services. Through the organization, they are providing these children with an opportunity for a better future by sponsoring their education, ensuring they attend private boarding schools where they receive quality education, proper nutrition, and healthcare.
The Association wishes to thank all the companies represented in the hike and all those who joined at a personal level as it would not have been as successful without them. The funds will be applied to change lives of the children while the awareness created will see many come out and rescue children and support in whatever way possible.
The Association continues to request for your support in kind and cash to help it realize its 2024 CSR theme of ‘Restoring Hope and Guiding Children Towards a Brighter Future.’ Your donation will keep those children in school, your donation will ensure they don’t sleep on an empty stomach and your kind donation will transform a life!
