2025 Big Give: Doubling Donations, Changing Lives in Kenya
2025 was an inspiring year for Team Kenya, defined by generosity, collective action and real impact. Thanks to the incredible support of donors, match fund champions and advocates, every contribution made during our Big Give campaigns was doubled, unlocking greater opportunities for girls, women and families in Ndhiwa, rural Kenya.
Across three campaigns, this shared commitment turned donations into long-term change — strengthening communities, empowering girls and building more resilient futures.
🌱 Growing Hope: Forest Gardens for Climate & Food Security
In April 2025, Team Kenya participated in the Big Give Green Match Fund, raising £10,716 to support the Forest Garden Initiative.
This program empowers women and young people to plant resilient forest gardens that:
Improve food security
Strengthen local ecosystems
Build sustainable livelihoods
Each donation, doubled by the Big Give, helps families thrive even in the face of climate challenges, turning small contributions into lasting change.
🏐 More Than a Game:
Girls Leading Change Through Netball
Through Big Give’s matched funding and donor support, including £9,034 raised for the netball programme, these activities helped create safe, empowering spaces where girls in Ndhiwa could build confidence, strengthen community connections and develop leadership skills.
Physical activity
Mentorship
Gender-based violence awareness
Through Big Give’s matched funding and donor support, these activities helped create safe, empowering spaces where girls in Ndhiwa could build confidence, strengthen community connections and develop leadership skills.
🎒 Keeping Girls in School, With Dignity
Many girls face barriers to education due to lack of supplies and menstrual health resources. Through the Dignity Packs campaign, donors helped deliver essential school and hygiene kits.
£10,400 raised to support girls’ education
Ensuring girls remain in classrooms, confident and ready to learn
Sending a message: you matter, and your education matters
These contributions are helping girls stay in school with dignity and hope for the future.
✨ Your Support Doubled, Your Impact Multiplied
From climate resilience to education and girls’ empowerment, the 2025 Big Give campaigns showed what is possible when community, courage and generosity come together.
Thanks to your support, every donation made during the Big Give was doubled — turning individual contributions into meaningful, long-term impact across Ndhiwa:
£10,716 was raised and doubled to support Forest Gardens, strengthening climate resilience, food security and sustainable livelihoods.
£10,400 is reaching girls through dignity packs and school support, helping them stay in education with confidence and dignity.
£9,034 supported the netball programme in Ndhiwa, where sport and mentorship opened new opportunities for girls to lead, grow and inspire others.
This support does more than fund programmes. It fuels hope, restores dignity and helps build lasting change for communities working toward a fairer future.
We are deeply grateful to every donor, partner, advocate and match fund champion who made this possible.
Thank you for believing in Team Kenya — and in the potential of every girl and woman we support.
