CALVARY ZION CHILDREN'S HOME SUPPORT TRUST |
Building Repair Appeal
The Children's Home moved to its current location in 2012 when two new houses were built.
Since then we have been concentrating on the children's education and sad to say that the buildings have not had as much attention and upkeep as they needed.
Mombasa is a humid area and that combined with the sea air causes problems such as mildew and rot.
There are now a number of issues which need urgent attention to keep the houses weatherproof, safe and healthy for the children to continue living in.

You will see from the photos below how things are, these include:
- The main gate support is worn and the hinges are sagging which makes it difficult to open and close them- they have to be kept closed for security reasons NOW REPAIRED
- There is mildew and mould in the kitchens and shower areas which is a big health risk to the children
- Tiles in the showers are broken, exposing bare concrete and leaving jagged edges
- The roof of the communal area where the children eat and play is coming loose and there are obvious large gaps
- There is exposed electrical wiring
- Plumbing fixtures are breaking
- The pens for the goats, pigs and cows need repairs
Update- many thanks to Ken Budd, one of our loyal supporters, who donated funds for repairs to the main gate, so the children will now be more secure.
