About project Africa

Project Africa sends money to Ndege School in the Rift Valley in Kenya. Each year, 30 senior school students from the British School in the Netherlands go for 3,5 weeks to carry out charity work there. 2019 is the 10-year anniversary of the BSN’s involvement with this school and what they have achieved is clear to see. Many more children now go to this school, compared with this time 10 years ago, and the Kenyan parents thoroughly see the value of this project.

Project Africa aims to improve the children's standard of living by building classrooms, planting avocado trees, teaching children, providing de-worming medicines and funding a breakfast programme for the Kenyan children for the next 12 months.
