I am John Newton. I lived in Kenya for twenty years between 1953 and 1973. I came to love the country and the people. With my wife I returned for a holiday in October 2018 and through friends, came across Rosebank Mathari, a small Charity School for HIV Orphans aged aged between 5 and 15 years old, run by Pastor Philip Matekwa. I interrogated the Committee and found them a properly constituted Charity under Kenya laws and committed to the Children.

Pam and I have been sending them money regularly from any we can spare from our pensions but feel we can offer more help if we have outside support. The money we send is only to aid the Children. It buys food, clothes, pads and pencils, medicines and, from time to time, with hospital bills. Rosebank cares for and educates about twenty-five Orphans. All are treated with love and education that carries some on to higher schooling and even University. Rosebank is a cause worth supporting. Pam and I will be eternally grateful if you can assist us in helping these poor Orphans.
Your Donations will be paid into a special account and sent directly to Pastor Philip in Kenya on a regular basis to Philip's iPhone using the Mpesa system. This allows him to use his telephone as a Credit Card with instant access to the funds sent.
Rosebank School Charity, Nairobi
Pastor Philip Matekwa
Rosebank School Charity was founded through The Bells of Life Ministry by Pastor Philip in 1990 with the vision of taking care of Orphans and less fortunate Children between the ages of five years old and ten, by supplying them with basic needs, such as Food, Clothes, Schoolbooks, Pencils, and, above all: Education.
I opened a school called Top Mark Academy on land in the Mathari North Area of Nairobi. The plot did not belong to the School, so we built a temporary structure of iron sheets and wood with roughly made wooden desks and benches for twenty five Orphans, many from HIV parents, to study and learn.
Our vision is to empower the Orphans through education and develop their skills and talents to equip them to become responsible future citizens, despite the challenges they may face as adults in modern Kenya.
In 2008 we were able, with the help of Mr Greg Kerr, a British Airways pilot, to secure a plot of land in the healthier area of Embakasi, near Jomo Kenyatta Airport. Here we educate, feed and clothe the Children and care for their health, often paying for medicine and doctors or stays in hospital when affected by malaria or stomach problems.
For the care and attention given to our Children, along with the items mentioned above, always needed, we rely totally on well-wishers and donors who may not be consistent.
We are now lucky to have Mr John and Mrs Pam Newton, who recently visited us from England, as regular donors and we thank and pray for them every Sunday.
As pensioners they need help to assist us in caring for and educating our Orphans. They are good people and I hope you can support us too.
Thank you.
Pastor Philip.
