Supporters’ trips

People often want to visit the projects, to understand the issues better and to get more directly involved. From time to time we organise tailor-made trips for supporters.

The trips introduce supporters to the communities, show how we work with local people, and help supporters stay involved with the projects that matter most to them.

Past trips

  1. Visitors at a table on a veranda talking with a young woman in a pink dress

    October 2024

    Janet was joined by supporters from Canberra, Australia, and from Ireland. They visited schools, delivered first-aid kits, saw the mangrove apiary, and joined consultations with Maasai women in Laikipia and the Mother & Baby community in Transmara.

  2. Group of visiting supporters posed outside a guesthouse

    August 2011

    A group of supporters from a wide range of backgrounds joined us. All of them raised funds for the projects and took part in activities in Kenya.

    2009

    The trip began at the coast, visiting GIFT projects and watching turtles hatch. It went north-west up the Rift Valley to see progress at Enkereri School in the Maasai Mara, and ended at the MAGSA women’s cattle project near Ngong.

  4. Two visiting women with a Kenyan man outdoors

    2006

    Our first supporters’ trip. Each participant took on a fundraising challenge, then met the people and communities their money was supporting. There was time for safaris and turtle-watching at the coast, too.
