25.01.2022 A BIG THANK YOU to all of our Annual Walk Sponsors. The 5th Annual Walk for Tandaza has been a great success due to your generosity. The committee enjoyed the afternoon walk but missed having you all walk with us. Next year we are hoping that you will be able to join us again! All funds raised will go towards helping the Tandaza Trust become more sustainable and continue their work amongst the disadvantaged street families of Nairobi.

24.01.2022 Here is the before and after of Kariua Nursery School class. Our beneficiaries' children school here but there has been a high drop out rate of children due to ...an unfavourable learning environment. One of the challenges has been sitting benches and tables that are not in good condition and are too high for the children such that sometimes they fell over during class time! Tandaza Trust together with East Africa Women's league were able to buy a blackboard, new sitting benches and tables for the children. Overtime, we desire to further improve the learning environment with the hope of having more children come to school. See more

03.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who came along, cooked, served and bought last Sunday. It was a great fund-raising success.

01.01.2022 Kamau, who has been a football coach to our boys in the streets has himself been a street boy for many years. However, as he consistently attended our sessions,... he continued to desire change in his life. Coach Kamau started doing casual jobs that enabled him rent a small house. This week we helped him settle into a more decent house. Kamau has also desired to start a boiled eggs small business and we are currently helping in setting it up. We got an eggs trolley that needs to be repaired after which he will start his buisness. His approach to life is significantly improving everyday and it is reflected even in how he speaks and presents himself!

01.01.2022 Such exciting developments in the work of the Trust. AFOT is very proud to be partnering with the Trust in this
