A Message from the Chair

Hello friends and supporters,

Despite global challenges, our small but mighty charity has remained stable, active, and full of heart.

To every volunteer, sponsor, partner, and regular donor — thank you. You make this work possible.


Your Support in Action

 

Mothers’ Vision (MV)

 

This year, every child at Mothers’ Vision is fully sponsored — an incredible milestone! Funding covered food, essentials, and school fees for the whole year, giving each child security and hope.

 

We said goodbye to Damaris, who led the home with dedication for many years, and welcomed Hellen, a social worker now leading day-to-day care.

 

The children continue to thrive at school and enjoyed a much-loved Christmas party at a local hotel — swimming, games, and plenty of ice-cream!

 

Beyond the home, BBK funded three rounds of food support for widows and low-income families in Barani and Pentagon villages. Each £17 food parcel, sponsored by the Acorn Project, made a real difference.

 

Amini also helped distribute food to about 100 families, while Lucy received funding to feed street children four times during the year.


Jesus Healing Ministry (JHM)

 

The new home for 26 children at JHM has transformed lives — a safe, modern space surrounded by half an acre of fertile land now producing fruit and vegetables for both meals and income.

 

Ten young people completed secondary school this year. Thomas passed and has begun university; two students will resit exams in July, and others are looking at vocational courses.

 

BBK also helped three nearby families facing severe hardship — providing food, uniforms, and school fees for six children and a wheelchair for a father who lost his legs due to diabetes.


Barani Primary School (BPS)

 

Led by the inspiring Betty, Barani Village School continues to shine.

 

BBK funded uniforms for over 200 children, giving them confidence and pride. We also provided food, shoes, clothing, and school materials to those who need them most.

 

Our period-poverty project continues to grow. Reusable sanitary kits — made in Kenya — are distributed along with soap and underwear. Through video lessons, Betty teaches girls how to use and care for the products. This year we plan to expand and support local production of these items.

 

We also:

  • Paid rent for two struggling families

  • Arranged medical care for residents who couldn’t afford treatment

  • Repaired 14 school toilets, improving hygiene and dignity for hundreds of pupils


Education Beyond School

Our university students continue to make us proud:

  • Jumaa (MV) – Final year of an Engineering degree

  • Hatson (JHM) – Third year, Education at St Paul’s University, Nairobi

  • Thomas (JHM) – Began university in January 2025

  • James – Studying Engineering in Mombasa


Helping Individuals and Families

  • Mercy, a young girl who lost a leg, now receives new prosthetics as she grows — and uses her sewing machine to help make school uniforms.

  • George, severely injured by electrocution, has had all his hospital care covered by BBK. His recovery is ongoing, and we hope he’ll soon return to work to support his family.

  • Around six families now receive help with food, clothing, and school fees.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, BBK’s focus remains simple — to support communities, change lives, and create opportunity through practical action.

Every donation continues to go directly where it’s needed most — feeding families, funding education, and giving children the chance to thrive.

Thank you for walking beside us on this journey. Together, we are making lasting change.
