Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On November 29th, 2022, the Chinese Embassy in Kenya donated food and learning materials to the Jewell Souls Hope Foundation, a charity based in the central Kenyan county of Kiambu. Miao Miao, a counselor at the embassy, presented the donation and said it would provide a new lease of life to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The donations included maize flour, snacks, stationary, school bags and toys. Founded in 2015, the Jewell Foundation's charity work includes providing meals for children and mentoring them to ensure they become productive members of society, said Caroline Ndung'u, the Foundation's Program Manager. "Our goal is to mentor these children and enable them to attain their potential," Ndung'u remarked, adding that they have also assisted single mothers to feed their children and save on wages earned from casual labor. According to Ndung’u, the Chinese Embassy in Kenya has been making monetary and food donations to the foundation since 2019.
