Asante Sana for supporting Isabella in her upcoming trip to Kenya 🇰🇪

We are proud to sponsor Isabella, pupil of Slemish College, as she prepares to travel to Kenya with her school and Gillaj Star Community Based Organisation this June.✨

From 24th June, Isabella will spend 11 days supporting projects that aim to make a real difference within local communities, including: helping to build a home for a widowed mother and her five children, supporting sustainable agriculture, and providing essential supplies to families in need ❤️

This inspiring initiative has strong links with Slemish College and is led by a Ballymena woman living in rural Kenya who has dedicated her life to helping others.

We are delighted to support Isabella on this incredible journey and wish her every success 🌍🙌

We have been busy working in the background to develop our street boy feeding programme. We have now secured a safe place for the boys to meet without being moved on by the police, we have also secured a place to rent chairs to us every week so we can meet with them, share the Gospel and to pray with them. They will also get a small meal once a week to begin with. We are praying we can increase this to twice a week.
If you feel this is something you would like to support financially please get in touch with us/pm us.

Everyday is a learning day 😊 Yesterday we had the lovely people from Equity Bank come speak to our members about financial responsibility and how to improve family finances all great skills to learn.
After this everyone got to taste the tilapia that was grown in the fish ponds, everyone was very satisfied 😊🐟🐟

🌟Thank you for the Christmas Appeal 🌟

School started back in Kenya this week and with the support you gave at Christmas, Gillaj Star was able to provide the school fees for some of the local vulnerable children in Rabuor. 🇰🇪
I think you can all agree they are all looking so well in their new uniforms, my 2 children had to get in on the action with their photo taken. 📸

Education is so important and these children will not have to take any days off or be sent home due to lack of school fees. What a blessing.

Happy New Year from all at Gillaj Star. We have been so blessed by your love and support in 2025 and we are excited to see what God has for us in 2026.

🎄🎄Christmas Hampers Kenya Style 🎄🎄

With the money raised by Slemish College we were able to provide 20 families with a Christmas hamper including a chicken (still living 🙈) cooking oil, and flour. There was even enough money left over to give them a small amount of money each.
What a blessing to see the excitement today as they received these gifts for their families.

I als wanted to take this opportunity to say Happy Christmas from everyone at Gillaj Star and our prayer is that God will bless all who support us and the work we are doing.

🌟 Thank you from Granny Margaret 🌟

A few weeks ago we set up a Go Fund Me page to help fix Ibrahim’s Grandmother’s roof as her house had flooded from all the rain.
The wooden beams were badly rotted and could not be fixed which meant it all had to come down before we could replace the roof.
Today we have finally completed the new roof after lots of delays due to the ongoing heavy rain and there was even enough money left to give the house a coat of paint. 👏👏👏👏

Granny Margaret is overjoyed at the kindness of everyone who donated to this fundraiser, she asked me to pass on her prayers of blessings to you all. 💙🇰🇪
