What we do

This is Brian. I met him in a village in rural Kenya. I smiled at Brian. "How old are you? I asked. "Seven," Brian said. I was shocked by his big belly, a sign of hunger. I also spoke to Jane, his mother. Jane is disabled and alone. She lives with her three children in a mud hut. She has nothing. "There is no school in our village."Brian was born here in this remote village, in poverty. He has no chance of a better life if he cannot go to school.

Kidshare Foundation believes it is unfair that children like Brian have no future because they happen to be born in a poor country. We are determined to improve the lives of the poorest children. We do this by investing in education. We build schools in villages where there are none. We work together with local partner organizations in three countries in Africa: Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. These organizations know the villages in their area and know where most children live where there is no school and where the community is determined to work on their future.

What we achieve

A royal honour

It had to remain a secret. I caught the train to Haarlem very early in the morning. There, our chairman and founder of the Kidshare Foundation, Hans van Driel, was to receive a royal honour. Mayor Jos Wienen praised Hans’s dedication and enthusiasm, which have made it possible for Kidshare to build 66 schools in several African countries.

Together with the people

What a celebration it was! Last month, we opened a new preschool with Kidshare in the far north of Uganda. A very poor area where children have no chance without good education. The parents had built a mud hut there. There, the children were taught on the ground in the dusty sand.

Together we are strong

I realized this again recently when a cheerful message arrived on my smartphone. It was a photo. In the photo on the right, you see a preschool we opened in February of this year in a remote village in Tanzania.
