About Us
What's different about our Sponsorship program?
At home, we are all volunteers, so 100% of your donations go to the work of the charity. We use the gift aid and additional fund raising for running costs and salaries in Kenya.
During the year each child receives:
- A new school uniform and a pair of leather shoes annually, without which, they can’t attend school.
- A female goat and training on how to rear healthy goats, which has proven to be the best sustainability component of the program.
- They are enrolled on a health care scheme giving the family access to medical treatment at local clinics and hospitals.
- The child will also receive: Solar lamps, Mattresses, Mosquitos Nets, Water filters, Water Tanks or food packages depending on the need.
The Sponsor receives:
- An initial profile of the child, detailing their family circumstances
- 2/3 updates per year.
- The opportunity to send letters
- The satisfaction that they are delivering a brighter future not only to the child, but to the whole family.
Will provide a water filter and a clean bucket, so a family can enjoy safe, clean water
Will provide a female goat, potentially offering nutrient-rich milk to nourish a family
100% of your donation goes to the work of SONshine Club Kenya project
- £18 per month will give hope for a brighter future!

About us
Our history
The SONshine Club started in August 2000 at the Church of God at Glenmachan, as a week long Bible club with an action packed programme for the children in primary School. In 2005 we emphasised the need to show love and concern for other children who were less fortunate than themselves. The children were encouraged to bring pencils, pens, erasers, sharpeners and other stationery to send to the children in Kenya. We had been given the names of a few schools in Kenya desperately needing this equipment.
The response from the children was phenomenal! In February 2006, as we started to package it up for transport to Kenya, someone made a glib comment that it would be lovely if we could go and actually distribute the gifts to the children in Kenya. We would then see at first hand the needs and poverty and would have a better idea what was needed for future schemes. A few weeks later three females were sitting on a plane bound for Kenya. Rather naively we thought we would go, distribute the stationery, clothes etc, take a few pictures to show the kids back home and that would be the end of it! And so it began……..
Our Vision
To assist in the relief of poverty, the furtherance of education and the provision of healthcare and clean safe water, amongst the children in the region of Tharaka, Kenya. Helping those children in great need to thrive and to help them become self sustained, giving them a hope and a Brighter Future.
