The league was inaugurated in
1917and now celebrates over 90 years of voluntary
service and commitment to help the whole community,
by concentrating on the aim of improving the lives,
physical, mental and moral of all women and children
whatever their race or religion. The League’s motto
is “Build for Kenya” and the work is as relevant now
as it was all those years ago.
T hrough
the work of East Africa Women League, hospitals,
children’s homes and hospices have been built and
maintained and schools for the disabled, the blind
and the deaf have been funded and assisted to run
successfully. Prisons are visited and the welfare of
women prisoners has been assessed and changes fought
for where necessary.In Malindi, the branch has
adopted Airport Primary School as its primary
project and has helped over the years with such
funds as it can raise – to date, KSh. 327,750. The
needs are overwhelming as the parents are mainly
poor and unemployed, thus unable to pay fees
regularly.
We are gratefully for any help visitors could bring,
pencils, crayons, children’s coloring books and so
on. Ideally, sponsorship of a child’s fees,
currently KSh. 3,600 per year, but then uniforms,
shoes and exercise books are also needed – so KSh.
5000 a year would go along way. The Modalities are
being studied
