Faraja Cancer Support Trust (Faraja) was founded in 2010. It's mission is to provide emotional, practical and physical support to anyone affected by cancer in Kenya. We also have a remit to raise cancer awareness throughout the country, where cancer is still seen as a death sentence. Since it's inception Faraja has provided a safe haven and given hope to thousands of adults and children who are living with cancer. We are growing rapidly, but are just scratching the surface in terms of the need. With only 8 oncologists in the entire country and 3 treatment hospitals (in a country of 42 million) there are huge barriers at every level to people surviving the disease. We achieve our mission in many different ways; including counselling, complementary therapies, support groups, and a host of activities including yoga, dancing and mediation. We also run art therapy classes in the children's oncology ward, provide financial assistance to people who simply can't afford life-saving treatment and organise awareness raising events. The mission and work of Faraja Cancer Support Trust is unique and ground breaking in Kenya.

Shikamana Trust oversees and manages the Shikamana School in Ukundu, Kenya. The school was founded in May 2002 with the aim of providing education for children, who due to poverty would otherwise be unable to attend school. Over 360 children regularly attend the Shikamana School, ranging in age from 3 to 17. Shikamana does not turn away any child wishing to attend school, meaning that many of the children attend despite their parent of guardian's inability to pay the very moderate schools fees. The school operates a sliding scale of fees according to what the parents can manage. This subsidized school fees mechanism is made possible through the Shikamana Trust and the Cher Charitable Foundation, which help provide necessary funds to run the school properly despite lack of income from school fees.
