A small charity with a big impact, we give hope & opportunity for a better, more sustainable future. The Free Town Trust is a UK based registered charity (Registration Number: 1208022) which was set up in 2006 to support children and families living in poverty in the Malindi area of Kenya. Since then several thousand pounds has been raised and all the money has gone directly to those in need. The funding has provided food, clothing, housing, education and vocational resources and training, emergency medical treatment, start up businesses and even a bike! In 2006 the founder, Sarah Parry, started working directly with Blessed Generation Childrens' Centre. Following several trips to Kenya, Sarah gauged the types of things which needed funding. The Free Town Trust has directly supported 8 pupils since 2006 as well as regular donations to provide food and items such as mosquito nets and medical supplies. In January 2017 the charity work extended to Sri Lanka. Support was given to Yasodara Girls' Orphanage in Galle and in 2019 a partnership with Karuna Sri Lanka, an Australian charity who have been supporting children in Sri Lanka since the 2002, was established and is thriving. Between these two charities, funding is provided to individual children and young women, educational/vocational organisations and vulnerable children and adults. The provision of food, medical supplies and sanitary items, education/training and resources, transport and housing are amongst the variety of support which is available. Our ethos remains to give practical help and to encourage independence and sustainability for those we assist. Many lives have been enhanced over the years, and in some cases lives have been saved. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors and followers. To make a donation you can:
