About Impact Kenya-Shangilia
Who We Help
Impact Kenya-Shangilia is meeting the basic needs of shelter, clothing, food, and medical care for orphaned and abandoned children in Kenya, as well as providing brighter futures and opportunities for these children through education.
What We Do
Shangilia Children's Home aims to equip children and youth with the tools, knowledge, support, and capacity to achieve their goals and to live stable and productive lives. SCH emphasizes the importance of education as a step towards independence and self-sufficiency, and ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty. School fees, uniforms, books, and other educational resources are a large portion of ongoing costs for children to receive elementary and secondary education.
Shangilia means 'joy' in Swahili. Talent shows, birthday celebrations, sports, and motivational awards are just a few ways that SCH builds community among the children in their care by creating a fun, joyful, and encouraging environment for them to live in.
A project that equips the children to lead full and successful lives after leaving SCH is called Fanikiwa. Fanikiwa means 'to be successful' in Swahili and this project helps graduates of the children’s home to get set up to live a full and prosperous life through mentorship, entrepreneurial training, post-secondary education, and financial guidance.
This year, SCH received 5 new children and at the beginning of the lockdown, many of Shangilia’s graduates returned to the centre. Our partners in Kenya have been supporting a growing number of children so that they all have a safe place to return to and a stable home throughout COVID-19. By supporting Impact Kenya-Shangilia, you are helping provide basic necessities, educational opportunities, and a safe and supportive environment to vulnerable children in Kenya.
The Non-Banquet
Why a non-banquet?
- You will be able to experience the joy of supporting our amazing staff and kids without taking any time out of your schedule.
- There is no overhead with this fundraiser. None of the money raised will be spent on food or venue.
- If you provide us with your email address when you buy your ticket, then you will receive a digital video updating you on the work and ministry of Shangilia Children's Home that you can watch at your leisure.
- You are able to enjoy whichever music you choose during the non-banquet simply by turning on your entertainment system and playing the recording of your choice.
- Attendance is unlimited. We'll email our total attendance on the night of the non-banquet.

What are some options other than simply choosing a meal?
