It was an honour to raise a glass to our new CEO, Ven Nyamondo. Ven shared how her passion and drive for her work at Chance for Childhood were born from her experiences of childhood in Nairobi. She spoke of education being “the only ticket I saw to a different life” just as it is for many of the children taking part in our projects. 

From our chair, Nicoletta, we heard the powerful story of Sanyu. Born with limb differences, Sanyu was kept out of school due to his limited mobility and the stigma surrounding disability in his refugee settlement. Because of our supporters – yes, you! – we were able to provide the simple items Sanyu needed, ensuring he is now included in school life and truly belongs in his classroom and community. 

Our path forward is clear. By 2030 we will ensure that 200,000 more children, like Sanyu, have a childhood filled with safety, belonging and play.

Our need, too, is clear. We need to raise £50,000 or vital programmes will have to close.
