Asante Coffee Shop

The new Life Centre School and the rennovations to the old school needs immediate funds in excess of £12,000.  We have sponsored events during 2010 in order to raise money  from sky-diving to cycling London to Paris.  However, once the school is built, we need ongoing funds to support the work.  Food, teachers, equipment, school fees for graduates etc.  In order to support the shool we have started a new enterprise over here in the U.K.  Chandlers Ford is the location of our new Coffee Shop where profits will be sent out to support the Life Centre school in Kisumu.  

One of the things we promote as a charity is business enterprise so it follows that here in the U.K. we do the same.  The coffee shop will have volunteers as well as paid staff to keep our costs down.  We are currently working in Fyern Arcade and hope to complete the work and be open in March 2010.  

We will be  serving coffee, tea, soft drinks, milk shakes, baguettes, sandwiches and home-made cakes.  So far there has been a sense of anticipation within the community and a support for the work of c4c.

We are grateful to all those people who have expressed an interest in volunteering for work at the Coffee Shop or being our regular customers.  Together we can really release some of our disposable cash directly into the education of the children and young people living in the slums of Kisumu.  Please click on the link to see the film Dare 2 dream which depicts exactly where profits will be sent.  Dare 2 Dream YT

Asante means ‘Thank you!’ in Swahili.
