The VANESSA GRANT TRUSTS work together to bring educational opportunities to children and young adults in rural Kenya.
The Trusts are currently supporting four main projects in Rongai, in Kenya’s Rift Valley:
The Vanessa Grant School for children with Special Needs: a government school with a residential facility.
The Rongai Vocational Training School: a school which takes the more able children once they have left the VGS and gives them a skill, such sewing, knitting with machines, bead-work, shoe repair, simple farming skills, fly tying. The aim is to expand this facility as funds allow.
The Gogar Primary School: a government primary school.
The Vanessa Grant Girls’ School: a selective secondary school for able girls. Through generous sponsorhip a limited number of places are available for able girls whose parents would otherwise be unable to give their daughters an education.
