Kenya, May 2019
Das Projekt „Strickwaren für Kimilili“ wurde von unserem Kassier Stephan ins Leben gerufen. Er reiste im Mai 2019 für zwei Wochen nach Kenia. Stephans Arbeitgeber und die Schweizer NGO „school4life“ bauen und unterhalten in Kenia seit mehreren Jahren eine Schule. Zurzeit hat sie 83 Angestellte und 800 Schüler/innen, verteilt auf 12 Schuljahre.
The aim of the project was the delivery of knitwear for the orphans and the personal delivery by our cashier. In a short time, 120 caps and about 50 knitted dolls/animals were collected.
The delivery and distribution of knitwear in Kimilili was a complete success - many happy children, teachers and organizers. All caps and dolls were distributed to needy children and 100% of the goods and a financial contribution reached the school.
Kimilili is located in western Kenya at over 1600 meters above sea level. Temperatures often exceed 20°C during the day. But when the sun goes down, it can get cold very quickly. The children in the Kenyan highlands often tolerate the temperatures rather badly. Even during the day you can see many with thick down jackets, wool hats and scarves. The knitwear was therefore a complete success!
