This website will be actualized regularly. We hope to add a Spanish and Dutch translation soon. For now we add some Dutch words in order to make people find our website searching for volunteer work abroad, et cetera: vrijwilligerswerk in het buitenland? Ondersteunen van een kindertehuis / weeshuis in Kenia? Een maatschappelijke stage in Afrika? Dan ben je hier op het goede adres.
Welcome!
Welcome at the website of Shade Children Foundation (SCF).
Welcome to all visitors from the United States, Finland, Denmark, Malaysia, Russian Federation, France, Israel, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hongkong, Japan, Ethiopia, Great Brittain, China, Italy, Kuwait, Taiwan, Greece, Australia, Lithuania, Sweden, Poland, Nigeria, Singapore and last but not least Spain, Kenya, The Netherlands and all other countries, who visited our website regularly since August 2010.
SCF is still a very young organization, which was founded in 2010. However, the boardmembers of the NGO have a lot of experience working for a NGO or with children and needy people.
Although we are convinced that more should be done to prevent that children like Jane and Precious have to live in homes like Shade, we also know that for these children it will take too much time before the problems in their environment will be solved.
 In the mean time Shade wants to give these needy children a safe place to grow up and to develop themselves. Give them a shelter, SHADE.
Give them protection, education, food and clothes, medical care and last but not least a Shade family around them.
Shade wants to bring some light in the lives of the less fortunate children living in the community of the slums, by supporting them, by giving them access to education, healthcare or the first needs of life.
That's what the SCF logo stands for.
Shade Children Foundation has formulated a main objective in its constitution:
The main purpose of the organization is to give out basic needs and improve access to basic needs to the less fortunate children in the community.
Our core values are:
-
Transparency
-
Accountability
-
Integrity
-
Honesty
-
Trust
- Legality
Shade is settled near Thika, a town at about 50 km from Nairobi, Kenya.
