Avocado Foundation
We are the link between rural schools in Kenya and you
Who We Are
Avocado Foundation was founded by Santiago Maria Del Giudice after living in a rural school in Kangundo Town and, in this way, experiencing in first-hand the living conditions of students, teachers and the surrounding community.
We are in constant search of schools in Kenya that don't have access to water or lack basic infrastructure. Once we identify these schools with the help of the community, we activate funding campaigns to provide solutions to each problematic, always focusing in children's safety and well-being
What We Do
New Classrooms
We construct classrooms where students had to take the classes outside because the ceiling was falling. Having a class under a tree is a nice experience but when it rains, classes are suspended, leaving the students behind in their learning
9000 usd
Water Access
In schools with no water access, students have to walk to the nearest market to buy water at high prices, losing school hours in this process. We construct boreholes, water connections and solar-pumping systems when schools lack electricity
In addition, when we find that the water problematic extends to the surrounding town, we construct a kiosk for the school to sell the water at low prices and then use that money for repairments
23.000 usd
New Toilets
Poor sanitation is the chief contributor to waterborne diseases, causing more than 438.000 deaths of children under 5-years-old per day
4.500Â usd
School Fees
Although schools in Kenya are public, the families still have to pay a fee before the school year begins. This fee is for school materials, uniforms and hygiene items. We support the students from families that cannot pay the fee, so the students may continue going to class
220 usd/year
Braille Machines
We work with schools for the visually impaired. These schools have the braille machines to teach them how to read and write but students don't have this equipment at home, leaving them unable to practice and usually forgetting how to read and write once they graduate
810 usd
Health Treatments
We support students in the treatment of conditions that could not be handled by the public healthcare system
The cost of treatment will vary according to the condition of each student
