Visits from the UK - Past and Future

We were very fortunate to receive a visit from a BBC Radio Berkshire producer/researcher in July.

Nejra Chehic visited Kisii on another project, but had known about Twiga Children's Centre through our UK director, David Steggall. Nejra contacted David and it was arranged that she would visit us, see the Centre and speak to some of the children.

The result of this visit can be heard on the BBC Radio Berkshire website. An audio slide show can also be seen on their site, displaying photos of some of our Twiga children.

David will be returning to Kisii on 12th November and will be staying for about a month, when he will be shooting footage for a new video about the plight of OVCs in Kisii, and what Twiga (and KCIS) are hoping to do for them.

Raising Our Profile in the UK

What do we need? Funds!

When do we need it? Now!

How do we get it? We raise the profile of our parent organisation, KCIS and feature our children.

A reporter from BBC Radio Berkshire in the UK, Nejra Cehic, recently visited Kisii and met Vincent & Abigael as well as some of the children. She recorded a lot of things in Kisii and these were broadcast over two weeks, on 9th and 16th August. They have also put a slideshow on their website, which you can see here.

Let us hope that the good people of Berkshire will respond with kindness.
