Our Projects

CAENDON is working to develop sustainable housing to benefit the poor in Africa.

Having access to quality affordable housing is fundamental to reduce poverty, improve equal opportunities and guarantee a sustainable growth:  ​

The need for adequate housing to be “particularly acute” in Africa, since the continent has the fastest growing population in the world, predicted to rise from 1.2 billion people in 2015 to 2.5 Billion by 2050.

 A UN Report on Kenya has highlighted a national crisis with up to 65% of women  and girls throughout Kenya facing significant challenges when it comes to managing  their menstruation. Women and girls often struggle, due to lack of access to  affordable sanitary products. Local health workers  have alerted us to the  pressing need for menstrual health support among schoolgirls in the area, many of  whom miss school during their periods due to the lack of sanitary products. 

CAENDON Sent a donation of 50 pads to underprivileged girls in the Masimbani school. We hope to continue this project to benefit more girls.

We recently sent a collection of Books to the Masimbani School in Kenya. The school does not have a library and children struggle to find any reading materials. We also hope to send Laptops to this school as the School children have no IT equipment. Teachers need to use their Smartphones to teach IT skills

Climate change is real. many farmers in Ghana find it increasingly difficult to grow the regular cereal crops because of changing weather patterns. We are helping Coffee Farmers in Ghana to diversify their crops and move to other crops such as coffee that they can grow sustainably.

Due to poverty many girls of schoolgoing age in Kenya cannot afford sanitary pads. When they have their periods, many schoolgirls have to drop out of school and fall behind their male peers. Others resort to either the use of unhygienic materials like newspapers or rags or are taken advantage of by unscrupulous men who offer them money. We are developing a program to produce washable pads for schoolgirls in Likoni near Mombasa.

We are very grateful to receive a large collection of books from Sarah who responded to an appeal from Dr Clerk a supporter of CAENDON Charity. These Books will be sent to the Masimbani School in Kenya.
