Relief and Recovery Work For Flood Victims
Got Sinai Foundation teams are actively involved in providing much needed relief assistance to thousands of severely affected vulnerable families in many parts of low-lying counties of Kenya during flooding.
Got Sinai Foundation offers relief food and other forms of assistance such as evacuation to higher and safer grounds, targeting the most destitute in the society, including the elderly, children, the sick, physically challenged, single headed families, and even people living with HIV/AIDS. We offer this humanitarian assistance by providing the victims with household items, shelter, mosquito nets, blankets, safe drinking water, and other non-food assistance such as health facilities.
We have so far covered many parts of Kenya with these interventions, including Nairobi, Kikuyu, Mandera, Garissa, Kisumu, Migori, and Trans-Nzoia Counties.
In Nairobi County, the communities living in informal settlements and slums, such as Kibra, Mathare, Mukuru, Kawangware and Korogocho, among many more, continue to
be affected by the floods caused by rains resulting in the collapse of building structures
and a breakdown of sanitary infrastructures.
Such leave thousands of households without shelter or food. Got Sinai Foundation has so far distributed 506 blankets and over 227 mosquito nets this year, 2024 alone. In addition, we have been heavily engaged in helping clean the garbage and rubbles clogging the drainages along the walking paths in these habitats.
Got Sinai Foundation’s assistance to flood victims is made possible through the support and small acts of kindness by well-wishers and our partners in Kenya and abroad.

Read MoreHOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITY SUPPORT
Got Sinai Foundation is actively involved in agriculture targeted programs that aim to sustainably improve household food security, by harnessing locally available resources to disadvantaged members of society, with focus on organized village dwelling housewives and widows. We engage and support these groups and individuals by helping them ready their farms, supply of satisfied seed, fertilizer. These deliberate interventions target the poor and vulnerable households with primary objective to promote food and nutrition security and resilience.
We also run a feeding program that provides a ration of grains and fortified vegetable oil to this target population. This intervention is meant to improve nutrition and health among pregnant and lactating women and children under two, as well as to supplement their food basket to prevent stunting in young children.
This gesture represents the spirit of the foundation which enables beneficiaries to initiate and control their own development, working together in a collaborative way to support each other to become more resilient, prosperous and self-reliant.

Read MoreSolid Waste & Plastic Menace Management in Kenyan Slums
Almost 6,000 tons of garbage accumulates in slums within Nairobi on a daily basis. The Kenyan capital city does not have a seamlessly functioning garbage collection system, leading to catastrophic consequences for the health of the residences in these informal settlements.
That is a huge volume, especially for a city whose professional waste management systems favour only the privileged sections predominantly occupied with the rich. Kibra Slums in Nairobi is one such settlement where hundreds of thousands of residents live without proper garbage control systems.
Obvious solutions are however available. The freely flowing waste water can be canalized, with the litter collected and composted in proper landfills for incineration or processed for recycling. The recycling of valuable raw materials has the potential of developing into a profitable business model, ending up with enterprises that can employ thousands of idle unemployed youth.
GOT SINAI FOUNDATION believes that the battle can be won. The NGO believes that waste is not worthless. All that is required is appreciating the value of waste and to use it for the betterment of both promoting environmental health and creating employment opportunities for the masses within communities. The organization has been deeply first and foremost involved in raising public awareness and educating people about the dangers of the garbage problem.
Garbage possesses a big danger and threat to their health of the communities living within the slums. It is for this reason that more often than not cases of malaria, typhoid, cholera and other waterborne diseases outbreak are rampant in these settlements.
GOT SINAI FOUNDATION is effectively involved the community living with Kibra slum in undertaking regular cleaning of the spiraling garbage by clearing the terraces and collecting the solid wastes and tones of plastics thrown everywhere anyhow.
Through these deliberate efforts, supported by our partners, and in collaboration with the local community leaders, the slum is slowly becoming habitable.

Lives of the vast majority of households in most parts of Kenya are defined by entrenched poverty, which has led to the pitiable conditions for the Kenyan child. Got Sinai Foundation Is therefore helping to educate the children of the under-served, supporting particularly the indigent, less privileged but brilliant child, to fulfill their life ambitions. We act as a charitable benefactor by raising funds and awarding scholarships to children with no parents or guardians, to care for them as well as supporting orphans and the less privileged.

WHO CAN REALLY BENEFIT?
What makes Got Sinai Foundation remarkable is that one major criteria for sponsorship is in being poor but brilliant. If your parents are rich, you cannot get our sponsorship. Got Sinai Foundation targets kids and youths who are very brilliant, but poor. We intervene in their pursuit for access to education and empowerment.
To ensure that children from very poor homes have access to education, Got Sinai Foundation, through its scholarship programs, supports the education of poor children, since we believe poor brilliant kids should be given equal opportunities to become somebody in life, so that the future does not belong only to those born rich. It is about meeting the needs and challenges of the less privileged-child, anywhere, who is willing to be educated. Many of the kids sponsored, were previously hawkers, farm workers, and or engaged in anti-social activities, just to make money to put food on the table.
Got Sinai Foundation Scholarship Eligibility:
1. Open to all Kenyans, but of poor parentage
2. Orphans, the less privileged and the impoverished are eligible to receive the scholarship regardless of where they come from
...commited to the less privileged and under-served…

Got Sinai Foundation has been at the forefront in helping the women and girls from the marginalized communities in northern counties in Kenya set up small, informal businesses as a means of survival. These women have experienced untold discrimination and sexual exploitation, either because of deeply rooted cultural beliefs or poverty.
They literally depend on what they earn day to day from the small businesses we have supported them in setting up to feed their families and pay school fees for their children. With absolutely no business skills or training, they have been able to identify gaps in the market, through our training and monetary support, turning them it into an income-generating opportunities.
We have been able to identify several disadvantaged women, girls and the people living with disabilities in this remote part of the country, and supported them by setting up informal businesses for them. Our goal is to equip, educate and coach the owners, so they can start and build their business … and make their lives worth living.
A few months later, we have been amazed and humbled by what they have achieved so far. Through small donations by our partners, we have been able to impact positively the lives of these hitherto neglected and frustrated members of the society take the next step towards their dreams.
EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEEDY STUDENTS IN KENYA
CELESTINE MWIKALI - Sponsored by Got Sinai Foundation
She was a barmaid who dropped out of school in form two.
Working in a bar is often associated with unfair stereotypes about the character of individuals involved, particularly women. They are often thought of to be uneducated.
This notion has been dismissed by Celestine who is currently waiting to sit for her KCSE.
She was given an opportunity in a church to give her story, where the presiding bishop later gave her our contacts. Got Sinai Foundation decided to sponsor her education at Alliance Girls High School, one of the most prestigious National Schools in Kenya. She says lack of school fees, due to poverty, pushed her to seek ways to survive and support her mother and siblings. She says “Thank you Got Sinai Foundation. May God bless the team.”
