Activities - how the charity spends its money

The Mama Upendo Children's Trust is the UK arm of the Mama Upendo Children's Home in Kitui, Kenya. We have 56 children that we house, educate and care for in a tiny compound. The children range in age from 3 to 18. Education is a major expense. We fund raise but also have a close managerial presence there, working closely with the Manager at the orphanage. We aim to provide a safe and loving home.
