Portfolio

During our long term experience we have worked with various organizations, and with many we still work together. For references you can contact one of them.  

If you are interested to become a donor of one of the organizations mentioned here, we can give you a discount for Monitoring & Evaluation while they are already part of our portfolio, so we can combine these services for different clients. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you are looking for projects supporting vulnerable children and Persons with a disability in Kenya and Tanzania. We can link you to the appropriate persons in charge and represent you in their M&E. All these projects have been proven to be reliable and transparent in their reporting.

Maria Magdalena Sheltered Workshops is part of the Maria Magdalena Special School. The Special school offers education from around 7 to 21 years for Children with a mental disability. In Kenya there was no following step after the school, so children remained there or went back home forgetting what they learned.
