Introduction
The VANESSA GRANT TRUST (VGT) is a UK registered charity established to fund and support a special needs school(VGS) in Rongai, Kenya.

The VGS is administered entirely by volunteers and is funded by donations.

The purpose of the Vanessa Grant School is to provide a safe and friendly boarding facility for 32-38 children with mild to severe mental handicap, between the ages of 6 and 14 years, where they can develop enough skills that will enable them, at least, not to be a burden to their families and their community. Strong links with parents are considered vital, to enable them to learn how to adjust to supporting a child with a handicap.

What inspires us ?
VGT has no administrative costs - every pound we raise goes directly to the projects we fund.
   
VGT is committed to providing the capital required to enable the school to be self sufficient in its day to day running and to develop its infrastructure and staff skills.
   
A little money goes a long way in Kenya - the net annual cost of funding one child is £192 (US$ 325) and this has to be raised from sponsors, parents and money making ventures such as the chickens.
   
Children are Kenya’s future and education is the most important thing that we can provide for them.
