  • Container by Sea
    De Dickson School in Kenia heeft nieuwe stoelen, tafels, kasten en whiteboards nodig. Daarom is er een container onderweg naar Kenia met daarin mooi schoolmateriaal uit Nederland. Met het nieuwe materiaal kunnen we zorgen dat de kinderen op een fijne plek kunnen leren en dat de overheid de school zal blijven steunen. Bedankt voor uw steun om dit mogelijk te maken!

  • Outdoor teaching
    Due to COVID our Dickson comprehensive school (used to be called Dickson academy) is not allowed to operate in the normal way. But we are allowed to teach the children in their respective villages and teach them children outdoors under the trees. Our teachers are changing location each day and teach the children from all classes who live in that area. This way we can keep an eye on our students and we encourage them to keep on studying.

  • 3rd Food relief
    A few days ago, we had our 3rd time giving out relief food to the poorest families of our community in Port Reitz where our school is located. Director Joseph Matheka was present in Kenya. He was encouraging parents to be strong, to continue trusting in God meeting their daily needs in this difficult season.
  • Parents day
    Today, august 22nd is an important day. The first seminar on parenting skills. Rehabilitation is only done with the boys, but the problems often originate from the situation at home. The officials from Kenya are enthusiastic about our approach and will come over from Nairobi to open the seminar.
  • Family
    Our new boys in Onesimus have been going through some rehabilitation after that it’s our aim to reintegrate them back to their family. Here are some pictures of some boys who are successful reunited with their family. As S2S we keep in touch with the family. We are very proud of our social workers who do an amazing job. A family setting is still the best for any child to grow up in.

  • Food relief
    After the first distribution on 30th April, we felt it was necessary to send our social worker and headteacher to visit every family we are helping to determine the needs (more than 40 have between 5-10 children). When we looked at their data, we decided to first give an equal ration to every family on our list. And then we would follow up two weeks later and give the very needy families a top-up ration.
  • Gratitude
    One of the new boys whom was taken from the streets, is sharing his gratitude! We are grateful to help boys like him, helping and leading them to a better future!
