About us The Bumala Trust was set up in 2002 by Janet from Newton Abbot after having visited the area of Bumala in NW Kenya and seeing the great need of so many people, young and old, with her own eyes. The Bumala Trust works to relieve the sickness of orphans and widows suffering from HIV/AIDS in and around the village of Bumala in North West Kenya, to advance the education of orphans and to relieve the poverty of orphans, their carers and widows in the area. We can’t change the world… but we can change someone’s world! Absolutely no expenses are drawn from UK 100% donations go to work in BUMALA Bumala Trust - The Story so far….  Some of the children back in 2003 –
helpless and hopeless!

Decoy Primary School twinned with Masebula Primary School and funding a classroom Land purchased! 2006 Offered training to widows Looked into obtaining planning permissions for borehole and workshops on newly acquired land Trustees attended fact finding trip to Bumala in March 2006 Looking for sponsor for transport of donated goods Continue fundraising activities in UK Started Borehole Project with an aim to raise £10,000 in 12 months – Water to be readily available on the field already purchased. This will enable clean water to be provided which will help to prevent disease, improve general health and save the time walking to the river. Also it will enable crops to be grown and sold to further self-sufficiency of the widows and orphans. Once clean water is ‘on tap’ , planning permission for the training workshops can be obtained and built.
2007 Continue to support 40 orphans Fact finding trip back to Bumala by two Trustees together with the Headmaster and four Teachers from Decoy Primary School who will be visiting Namwitsula and Masebula Primary Schools. Decoy Primary School has worked hard over the last few years and is funding a classroom being built. By the time they visit, the roof should be on! |
