Destiny Garden School is a charity school dedicated to educating disadvantaged children in one of the poorest suburbs of Mombasa.  To do this it relies on support from the outside world.  You can contribute to the future of the school in a number of ways as follows.

100% of sponsors’ and donors’ funds, together with the Gift Aid, go to Destiny Garden School. The committee members meet all the expenses and administrative costs involved in running the charity.

Could you consider organising an event to raise funds for Destiny Garden School?  In the past supporters have held  coffee mornings, dinner parties, book and cake sales; there are many other ideas which would raise much needed funds for the school. We can provide  display materials and leaflets, and give any other help required.

The Destiny Children charity is not responsible for the volunteering scheme at Destiny Garden School as we don’t have the necessary insurance.  However, this can be arranged by contacting Jacob, the founder and school director, via the School website. Jacob and his family can host volunteers who can stay from one week to six months.  See the section on volunteering on the Destiny Garden School website for more information via this link: volunteering.
