Kisii, Kenya – a Spring in Their Step!
Kisii county is a very small region in West Kenya, suffering from prolonged drought conditions, in common with large parts of East Africa.

This particular project was fundedContinue reading “The Sunshine Class, in Creggs, Co. Roscommon.”
GOAL – Fighting Drought, one school at a time, in Borena, Ethiopia

This is why when GOAL told us about their plan toContinue reading “GOAL – Fighting Drought, one school at a time, in Borena, Ethiopia”
A thank-you card from United Purpose … to you.
ElectricAid minds its manners with friends, members and supporters – we feel that we can all go a long way with “please” and “thank-you”, the crucial foundation stones for any relationship. That’s partly why we were so pleased to receive a simple thank-you card from United Purpose (formerly Concern Universal), an excellent and trusted implementingContinue reading “A thank-you card from United Purpose … to you.”

The Pokot people, with aContinue reading “Fit-out of a Pokot Nursery – a big deal for small people.”
