The Responsible Partnerships Exhibition is a great opportunity to find out more about the ground-breaking work of Glad’s House, a small UK charity which is helping to lift hundreds of street children in Mombasa, Kenya out of poverty.
The charity provides education and sports opportunities for children who would otherwise never experience many of the simple joys of childhood. It also runs an innovative Enterprise Scheme which provides training and employment opportunities for young people.
At the Glad’s House stand, you can also find out more about the charity’s ground-breaking work in Kenya, including:
- Glad’s House Enterprise Schemes: providing training and apprenticeships for young adults. Businesses include a cyber café, a bicycle repair shop, carpentry shop, cobblers, sports-shirt shop
- Glad’s House Caddies: 40 young people helped from a life on the streets, trained by the European Tour Caddies Association and now working at the new Vipingo Ridge Golf Resort in Kenya
- Future Plans: including opening a two-acre farm, a fish & chips café and a shirt printing business.
Glad’s House also hopes to begin work on a permanent rehabilitation centre in the near future. This will act as a safe haven for street children where they can be safely helped to a new life with new hope.
Cliff Ferguson, the charity’s founder, comments, “We are looking for innovative commercial partnerships to continue our existing work and lift hundreds more children out of a life of abject poverty.
“Glad’s House is a small charity but we can guarantee that every pound raised for us will change a child’s life.”
