Ruben Centre - Between Two Flags
Donation protected
Hello! This fundraiser has been created to support the Ruben Centre in Muruku county, Nairobi. The Ruben Centre provides essential services for a community of over 700,000 people.
Harry and I (Will) have been volunteering at the centre for the last month and have worked in multiple departments. Through our experiences and discussions with the staff, we have been able to identify three projects that would benefit immensely with additional support. These areas are:
- Occupational and Physiotherapy
- Special Needs School
- Art Department
We have created a video series to provide further insight into the centre's vital work. Please see the links below:
