Generous Giving to schools in Kenya
Supporting Tharua Special School with a new Boarding House and Toilet/Shower Block
Every child matters
On the ground in Kenyan schools, we see countless ways to uplift young people. At Generous, we invite partners to share in this vision—making a practical, visible difference that both inspires and prepares students for a better future.
We are thrilled to report on the success at Tharua Special School! We have just finished constructing our second dormitory, dramatically increasing its capacity from 15 to 50 pupils and allowing far more students to receive the special needs education they deserve. We have many more exciting projects ahead, both at Tharua and for other vulnerable children across this region of Kenya.
We are very excited that Generous.org.uk is currently in the process of becoming officially registered as a UK charity.
Generous is a Christian Charity serving all people.
We increase opportunities for persons within education by supporting their physical or care needs, improving educational infrastructure and sharing the love of Jesus. Every child deserves hope for a brighter future.
- Building Foundations & Futures: We are a key source of support for a special needs boarding school in Laikipia, providing new buildings (like dormitories and improved sanitation) and offering child sponsorships to ensure highly vulnerable students have a safe place to learn and grow.
- Fueling Minds and Bodies: Through our Water and Food programs, we establish school feeding initiatives so that no child has to learn on an empty stomach.
- Enhancing Education: We facilitate internet access for schools, enabling teachers and pupils to enrich their learning with modern resources.
- Boosting Health and Focus: We supply sports and play equipment to promote essential exercise, teamwork, and improve concentration and learning both in and out of the classroom.
- Hope for the Future: Being a Christian organisation, everything we do is inspired by the love of God; sharing Jesus and His wonderful Good News.

Sport really makes a difference to the school day, but so often the students don’t have the resources to access this. Above, shows the joy that one simple ball can bring.
We work collaboratively with headmasters, teachers and parents to identify how best to support each school.
Giving that has a long-lasting impact
Because the young people of today will become the adults of tomorrow…
We want to invest in poor underprivileged students in Kenya so that they are better equipped to complete their education and to flourish.
With most schools being only a maximum 20 minute drive from our HQ, we are able to efficiently oversee and personally deliver on all our projects.
