Current Projects
Sponsorship- School building- Widows feeding program -Clean water wells - Business Development - Self Sufficiency
Our beautiful widows are very motivated to become self sufficient and have a business plan to grow and sell rosemary for the oil. They are ready and willing to go as soon as the set up funds come in.
School building Fund
Child Sponsorship
Redland Junior School started with 2 classrooms, 6 toilets, 40 students and 2 teachers. It has grown now to over 150 children, 9 teachers, 1 cook, an administrator, 6 classrooms and 10 toilets. With the need for many more children to be educated our plan is to build more classrooms and add resources as the funds become available
Widow's feeding program
One of our passions is to find sponsors for each of the Precious Little Diamond orphans so they have an opportunity to wholesome food, medication, as cholera, malaria, typhoid and other diseases are common sicknesses, warm clothing in the winter and of course, their dream of having an education like other children.
The delight sponsors experience in knowing they are giving their child an education and chance for a better future is so rewarding.
School Feeding Fund
Children going to school in Kenya need to be fed as the parents are often too poor to send food along with them to eat. The kitchen and storeroom have been built and Florence the cook does an amazing job feeding over
100 children at the school daily. As the funds allow another cook will be introduced.
Many of the elderly widows we met are looking after up to 10 small children and rely on small scale vegetable farming for their livelihood. PLD distribute food, blankets, cooking and hygiene products to ease the burden. Plans are on the drawing board to help these lovely women develop sustainable income generating opportunities.

Christmas Appeal
Christmas should be a special time of the year for any child but due to poverty this is not always the case. Through the generous giving of our donors, PLD has been able to buy new clothes and shoes for the children each year as well as a lovely Christmas lunch and if finances allow, George takes them on an excursion to somewhere special. Our Christmas appeal has also brought joy to the widows by providing them with food and blankets.
Clean water bores
Upcoming projects
Self sufficiency is something PLD is very keen to encourage in our work in Kisumu so we are always looking for projects that will create income. We now have a business planner on our team that is researching viable prospects to make this happen.
Having clean water to drink can be easily taken for granted by people living in first world countries but many places around the world including Kisumu Kenya, dirty and contaminated water is all they have access to.
PLDI are delighted to be able to dig water bores that produce clean crystal clear water for the orphans, widows and surrounding community to drink and use for cooking, reducing the risk of Cholera and other water borne diseases.
