HOLA CHARITABLE TRUST Charity Registration No 1125781 Sponsoring MICHAEL JAMES SCHOOL, Chaurembo, Mtwapa, KENYA HOLA Charitable Trust is a small charity founded by Kath and Mike Blears in 2008. During a holiday in Kenya in 2007, they were immediately struck by the poverty and deprivation they encountered, and were determined to help the poor and underprivileged children they had met. An Orphanage has been built for 20 children and is now under control of a church. Later, after consultations with the Area Children’s Department in Kilifi, they were told of a desparate need for schools in some rural areas.As a result, a large piece of land with a Swahili house was purchased in 2009. The house has been renovated and converted to hold 2 Kindergarten classes,for 20 children in each class.The future aim is to build an 8 class Primary school in this area. Kath and Mike along with the other trustees are all volunteers and pay their own expenses when they visit Kenya, and all donations go to the benefit of the children.
