The Shonda Project
The Shonda Project is a small independant charity which has helped provide Kenyan children with affordable primary education for over 16 years
In 1993 Mick and Angela Prentice went to Kenya on holiday. While they were there they saw many young children sleeping and living rough by the Likoni ferry terminal on the south coast of Mombasa. On making enquiries, they found that many of these children had been orphaned following the Likoni ferry disaster where reportedly 200 people had died.
As dedicated foster parents for over 35 years, they wanted to help these needy and vulnerable children so they were put in touch with a local Baptist Minister who was trying to provide a school for the children. As a result of that first meeting they came back to the UK and started to raise funds and the Shonda Project was born.
Last year saw many exciting developments in Shonda which included the opening of a Secondary School Workshop. As of this month there are 85 pupils enrolled in the Secondary School studying a secondary level syllabus and classes in carpentry and sewing.
