Milele is dedicated to providing educational opportunities for children in Kenya, giving them choices about their future.
Our Mission Statement
Milele is a small charity dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for children in Kenya who need them the most. Milele is passionate about facilitating choice, to empower these children to take control of their own lives and destinies, and shape their own futures.
Milele is dedicated to equality. We aim for our sponsored children to be representative of the gender and culture mix of Coast Province, Kenya.
Milele's primary goal is to support children to access high quality education and enable choices in their lives. Alongside school fees we provide school lunches, both preventative and emergency healthcare as well as mentorship and emotional support.
Milele has supported 19 children to attend high quality primary schools across the Coast Province of Kenya
Milele has supported 8 children to attend high quality secondary schools right across Kenya
Milele has supported 2 students to attend high quality colleges
Milele has supported 1 student to attend the world class University of Nairobi.
Milele provides tailored, holistic support to families of sponsored children to help them be self sufficient. Support can come in many forms, from emergency nutrition packs to business startup grants and mentoring.
Milele has provided support to hundreds of families through the targeted distribution of mosquito nets, food parcels and business startup grants. These interventions help families recover from difficulties, prevent new problems occurring and become more self sufficient for the future.
Mosquito nets save lives. Sleeping under a net significantly reduces the chance of mosquito bites and malaria transmission.
Each food parcel contains around 1 weeks worth of basic food for a family of 4. A food parcel gives a struggling family time to recover from financial difficulties and the strength to work.
A modest business grant of around £60 can be enough to get a small business off the ground and be the start of a more sustainable future.
Milele works with very vulnerable families. The safety and wellbeing of all the children sponsored by Milele is at the forefront of everything we do and we work in partnership with the family and local agencies to ensure the children’s safety.
