Mustard Seed Project Kenya is a small charity working in a deprived area of urban Mombasa, Kenya. We have built a school for 320 poor children aged 3 - 14 years in classes of 25 - 30 with a feeding programme. Classes are well resourced and we have committed, hard-working staff who fulfill our aim of providing quality education for all regardless of ability. Our children achieve outstanding results in their KCPE (Kenyan Certificate of Primary Education). We have also given health and business training to young people and women.

Nacoa (National Association for Children of Alcoholics), was founded in 1990 to address the needs of children growing up in families where one or both parents suffer from alcoholism or a similar addictive problem. This includes children of all ages, many of whose problems only become apparent in adulthood. Nacoa has a free, confidential telephone (0800 358 3456) and email helpline (helpline@nacoa.org.uk) which is at the heart of all we do, providing information, advice and support for everyone affected by a parent's drinking.
