Supporting the Orphaid Children

27/10/2015

UPDATE: We have found uniform sponsors for every single child! We are completely blown away by everyone's generosity. Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored a child. If you missed out and still want to help, there are plenty of opportunities to be able to make this school something great. As they are only just starting out, they have almost nothing. If you would like to bless them with a donation, we can ensure it will be used 100% to bless these children. Again, THANK YOU!

As a family, we have decided to walk alongside our friends Joan and Carolyne to help them get uniforms for the beautiful children that are in their care at the Orphaid Community Center. We are looking for 25 individuals or families who are willing to donate AU$60 to buy 2 uniforms for each student. The girls will get 2 dresses, 2 jumpers, 2 pairs of socks and 1 pair of shoes. The boys will get 2 shirts, 2 shorts, 2 jumpers, 2 pairs of socks and 1 pair of shoes.

Currently, these children don’t have much more than the clothes on their back. A few of them have some foot wear but these shoes were doing little to protect their feet and many of them were either over or under sized.

Listed below are the beautiful faces of the children in need so you can decide who you would like to sponsor uniforms for. This is how we are going to do it:

Select a child
Email theschopfs@gmail.com with your name and the details of who you have chosen (we will try and give everyone their first choice).
Wait for a return email with confirmation.
Go to the support us page on our website www.theschopfs.com for our banking details and transfer the money into our bank account (sorry you’ll just have to trust us but we will send you a receipt).
When the uniforms have been made we would love to send you a photo of your child looking fantastic in their new clothes.

Purchasing a uniform for a child will be a one off donation, but if you are interested we can also connect you to enable to support this project on a regular basis. We believe that this is a great new project that two amazing Kenyan women have begun and we would love to see it grow and thrive.
