The Kazi Mingi Foundation Ball



We had a fantastic night out at the KMF Foundation Fund-raising Ball at
the Marriott Hotel Heathrow last week. We were treated to a wonderful accoustic set by Newton Faulkner and the African soul band had the dance floor full all night.

The Kazi Mingi Foundation (KMF) was founded in 1997 to provide quality education for African children. Since the mid 1960s, Kip and Phyllis Keino have been caring for orphans. Their dream to build a school for children in their care became a reality, with KMF’s first project raising funds for the construction of The KipKeino Primary School, Eldoret: designed and built by Kenyans, the project provided much needed employment for the local community.

Through this school these children have been given the chance to develop as individuals and build a future for themselves.
See http://www.kmf.org.uk/index.htmlfor for current fund-raising news.

  1. This sounds fantastic Lyn. What a treat!

    I have to admit I'm not familiar with the KMF Foundation, it sounds like they do excellent work with the children - thanks for the link I will hop over and have a look.
