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 raise these funds 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 small 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 pleased that the Asante Coffee Shop launched successfully on the 16th March 2010 and has been reaching above its target in the opening week -meaning profits will already have begun to accrue.  From its opening in March 2010 until the end of Decenmber Asante raised over £15,000 for the charity!  Together we can release some of our disposable cash directly into the education of the children and young people living in the slums of Kisumu. 

Asante means ‘Thank you!’ in Swahili.  Please help us by visiting us for coffee and cake!

ASANTE!
