TASK 500

Last year at Caterham Bridge Club, we raised £6,061 for Tandridge Academic Support for Kenya (TASK) - a registered charity.  Since 2012, money is raised from refreshments provided at Bridge sessions and other fundraising events held throughout the year.

TASK is currently supporting 44 children through their high school education, with 13 new students who started in January 2020. Some students who receive support then go on to study at university where they get full bursaries or scholarships. To ensure our donations are only spent in the most effective way, we only pay directly to the school. We work directly with the local teachers in the area of Limuru, which is a rural town about 35 kilometres northwest of Nairobi. From January 2018, the Kenyan government started to pay tuition fees for all high school students attending state schools. The students still have to pay for their lunch, buy books, school uniforms, pay for PTA and Development funds. We also pay for boarding fees for some of the students.

Due to the pandemic, we have been unable to raise any money for TASK since March 2020. To help raise the funds needed to achieve our goal, Tony will play 500 boards in a week between 20th to 26th November  We are hoping to secure some high profile players as well as more familiar faces to join him in this endeavour.  You can join him on Zoom during the week to see how he is doing, with a full schedule to be made available in the near future.

You can sponsor Tony to complete the challenge or make a donation. With your support, we can improve a child's life immeasurably and make a family's future prospects brighter.
