UNDER THE MANGO TREE
Welcome to Under the Mango Tree, a UK based charity that supports Timboni Nursery, Primary and Junior Secondary School in rural Kenya, helping to educate some of the world’s poorest children and feeding over 300 children breakfast and lunch each school day. We are helping to break the cycle of poverty by enabling a future where hopes and dreams can be fulfilled through the basis of education.

News Update: Spring 2024
We visited Timboni School, Kenya in February 2024.
We had not visited the school since February 2020, immediately before the world shut down with Covid-19. Although we have received regular reports, nothing beats an in-person visit and we were not disappointed.
We have agreed a budget to support Timboni for 2024 and 2025 (teaching, feeding, supporting and learning) and we have 3 new standalone projects to fundraise for. We detail more on these later but if these headline projects are dear to your heart, please do consider supporting them:
ICT Project: 4 computers and a printer...............£700
Sewing Machines Project: 4 sewing machines...£750 !!!FULLY FUNDED!!! (See blog)
Covered Dining Hall Project: To sit 150 children in 2/3 sittings....£5,500

Support us by booking a holiday - a crucial source of funds
UK based fund raising has been hit hard by both Covid-19 and the cost of living crisis. Nevertheless, an important income stream for us is via Riviera.
Riviera Travel generously support Under the Mango Tree by donating a whopping 10% of the holiday price after you have travelled.
Please consider Riviera when booking your next break. Click here to look and book online or mention Under the Mango Tree at the time of booking over the phone or by email.
