The
Kimilili Trust is a small West Sussex charity founded
by Jan and John Gribben and run by a small committee of
West Sussex people. It aims to help the young people who
live in Western Province, Kenya, principally in the area
around Kimilili..
The
charity was founded following a series of visits to the
region by Jan and John – who are both retired headteachers
– when they saw at first hand the problems being
faced by youngsters in that region.
Most of the people who live in Western Province are subsistence
farmers. They grow enough to eat but have little or no
actual money. There is more information about the area
on this web site and you can read what we have done, what
we are doing and how you can help.

The
Trust works on a simple premise. When a donor gives money
for a project, ALL that money should go to the project
in Kenya. Thus, there is no deduction for administration
all of which is funded from elsewhere. All the Trust’s
projects are overseen by local people personally known
to Jan and John and who have shown themselves to be totally
trustworthy. |
