KOFUP supports children and young people in their own communities through locally-based efforts within the framework of community projects.
KOFUP supports programmes which reach out to and rehabilitate street children.
KOFUP supports small-scale infra-structure projects, including the provision of clean water and sanitation facilities.
KOFUP supports programmes advocating for the rights of girls.
KOFUP supports education through the provision of school equipment and uniforms, and the payment of fees.
KOFUP supports feeding programmes in schools.
KOFUP currently works in six counties in Kenya: Nairobi, Kisumu, Homa Bay, Siaya, Kisii and Turkana.
And in the Kamwokya slum in Kampala in Uganda.
In each of these areas there are many more children in need than we can reach so even the smallest donation can make a big difference.
At least two of the trustees visit each year, travelling around the different communities to monitor the use of funds and ascertain ongoing needs.
Since KOFUP started, every penny raised has been set aside for the support of orphans and vulnerable children.
Trustees personally meet all administrative and incidental costs.
