Change a life today, Give them a better future.
Making the decision to sponsor a child is a personal one, not an easy choice as all of the children are precious and in need, with their own unique stories. Some sponsors prefer for us to choose for them, which we are happy to do.
We welcome your enquiry regarding the below three listed children or any of our other children.
Shawn, 8 years
Shawn's mum was a sponsored child herself many years ago. She fell pregnant in secondary school. With the support of Boldlyigo Inc. she remained at school and now has a small Hair Salon that she runs from a corrugated shed in Nakuru. Shawn is a happy little boy who is now in grade 2. Being a single mother, raising a little boy is quite a job, BIG provides education support and counselling for all our carers and children.
Henry, 17 years
Henry is a resilient, inspiring young man who is HIV+
After losing his mother to HIV, he was raised by his elderly grandmother whom he loved dearly. Sadly she passed, and he is currently living with an Aunt.
Henry is currently in his final year of Secondary School and is wanting to be an actor or producer so that he can give hope and tell his story to others.
Kellyn, 9 years
Kellyn is a bright young girl, sadly Kellyn lost her mum last year. Her dad; Patrick is doing his best to raise her and her brother.
Despite the loss, Kellyn is determined to keep her joy in this situation.
Bodlyigo Inc. is supporting this family with Kellyn having commenced boarding school to provide some stability. We know this amazing young lady will do well with the right support.
what happens after sponsoring a child
welcome
Welcome
After sponsoring, you will receive an email with photos of your child, welcoming you to the ‘BIG family’.
We will contact you by phone to answer any queries you may have.
what will happen
Your child will attend a local school in their primary years and most will attend a boarding school in their secondary years. Though boarding school is more expensive it helps the children to focus on their school work and receive regular nutritious meals and help in a structured environment.
Our Field Officer; Betty Muriithi will visit the children at school and at home. Where possible, photos are taken and interviews with carers and teachers are done.
All activities and finances are strictly monitored by our Australian team – both here and in Kenya.
What Won't happen
You will not receive constant mail or emails asking for more money.
Your details will not be shared. We value your trust and support.

You can also send letters and photos to your child. We are happy to email them through and provide photos showing your child receiving them.
Quarterly newsletters will also be emailed to you.
