Emily and her co-workers prepare meals for 18 children at the Kware Care Centre on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya – twice a day on school days and three times on Saturdays and Sundays.

Their task has been made a lot easier by a new kitchen and food store, specially designed and built from two steel shipping containers and funded by your gifts to Blythswood.

Emily used to prepare veg outside, crouched over a peeling bucket. Now she stands at a spacious worktop. There is a double sink with running water.
There is an extractor fan, two large gas burners and an oven – something they didn’t have before. And the secure, steel construction guarantees an environment that is rat-proof and easy to keep clean.

The Kware Care Centre is run by Blythswood’s partner organisation Pamoja. Charity trustee Sheena Griffin says, “We are so excited to have this new kitchen.”
