The International Humanity Foundation

 So this is who I'm working for! It's a little charity with a lot of guts. The idea is to help provide education to poor and disadvantaged kids and also to provide education about poverty to those who have had all the advantages life has to offer. There are six IHF centres - four in Indonesia, one in Thailand and one in Kenya. The charity is funded mainly by individuals rather than grants and tries to keep a real ethos of personal communication between the people who support the charity and the kids who benefit from it.

I'm at the IHF centre in Nakuru, in Kenya. Most of our children come from a region called Pokot. The Pokot tribes at the moment are not far away from starvation and walk hours a day to find water. We go there once a month with some of the kids to provide some emergency food and livestock. It's not much but it helps a bit. There is still real need close to home as well however. Even in Nakuru (Kenya's fourth largest town) kids are fainting in school from hunger. You can read about it here. It's scary being so close to such poverty.
