Skates for Babes

Toddre' Monier & Jaliyaa Coffee are raising funds for Shangilia Children's Home. The kindest, most genuine kids you'll ever meet! Imagine living on the property of a skate park and not having skates :( Let's get some skates for these babies.

Shangilia Children's Home (Tumshangilieni Mtoto) is nestled at the edge of the upscale Loresho neighborhood in Kibagare, an informal settlement (slum) located in Nairobi, Kenya. It is home to 120 children from toddlers to 18 years of age.

We realize that skates are not a high priority in terms of need. However, we believe in joy. And what is a child without joy? Following our joy is how we self-actualize and ultimately thrive. These babies already have to grow up too fast. Let's add a bit more sunshine to their lives.

GOAL

Our goal is to purchase a total of 25 skates. If you are so inclined, we welcome you to purchase skates and accessories from Decathalon - Kenya by clicking here. Socks , scooters, and skateboards are also welcome.

Shipping skates to Kenya is costly. We will receive the skates if shipped via DHL and all duties, taxes, and fees are paid.

DONATION MATCH

JALIYAA Coffee will match whatever you find in your heart and pocket to donate.

'From the motherland to the cup in your hand.' This Sierra Leonian - American owned cafe is located on H Street in Washington, DC. Its beans are sourced from Kenya. As a pan-African diasporan, Moe, the owner, is committed to helping all Africans thrive.
