Child Rescue Centre International (CRCI) is a Kenyan non-governmental organisation which provides the children of Thika a fair chance for a better future. We are not able to do this work without your help! You can help CRCI by sponsoring a child or by supporting CRCI in general.
Several children will be spending a longer period of time, if not their whole youth in CRCI. Most of them are orphans, some were found in the streets or could not stay with their family any longer, because they were in a situation of abuse. Almost all of the CRCI- children are referred to CRCI by the Children’s Officer. CRCI takes care of these children by providing them love, attention and a stable environment to grow up in. Besides that CRCI provides the children in their basic material needs, such as secure shelter, food and a good education. To be able to provide all of these needs, we request your help!
Three possibilities to sponsor
You can help the children by sponsoring CRCI. There are 3 possibilities to sponsor:
1. “sponsoring a specific child”
- The sponsor will send a fixed amount of money monthly. This will be spend on the child in the way the sponsor and the board of CRCI think is best for the child. Since the sponsor can have a lot of influence in the decision making, he/ she has to know the child personally. Apart from the financial ties you can create a very personal contact by sending and receiving pictures, drawings and letters.
- 2. “sponsoring a child without direct contact and authority in decision making”
If you have never been at CRCI, you can contact a person who knows that child already (for example a former volunteer). You can contact this person directly or with help of CRCI. This option makes it possible for several persons to sponsor one child, even if they have never met each other nor the child. At the same time important decisions or direct contact with the child will go through a to the child familiar person.
CRCI will keep the sponsor updated on the developments of his/her child regularly (four times a year). If you want to receive the quarterly report on CRCI in general, please indicate this on the form. - 3. “sponsoring CRCI in general”
It is possible to support on a regular base or only once. The sponsor is free to choose the amount of money, which will be spend on monthly costs (food, electricity, etc.), construction and extension of CRCI or a short term shelter for children in immediate need of help. An example of a child in a crisis situation is 13-year-old David, who stayed at CRCI for approximately ten weeks. He ran away from home, tried to commit suicide and finally the police directed him to CRCI. Here, he flourished and in the meantime CRCI traced some family members where he could go back to.
The development of CRCI and stories about such short- term cases can be followed by the sponsor through information on the website or through the quarterly report on CRCI in general. If you want to receive the quarterly report, please indicate this on the form.
