Operation Saving Baby Brian Online Donation

Finally after a few days of debating, emails and phone calls on how we can handle the donations in a transparent way, a solution has been found. I would like to Personally thank Karimi Gituma, Kelcey Brackett and Lemayian Kimojino for throwing the weight of VUMA KENYA behind the efforts of this Campaign. With their eyes on the money so to speak, I would like to thank them for agreeing to be stewards of the funds that we collect for Baby Brian. So dear friends please feel comfortable donating below and rest assured that ALL the funds will go directly to the family. Our Goal is to raise $5000 in the next 2 weeks.

Thank you for donating and drop me a line at josephkaroki@hotmail.com and let me know that you have supported Baby Brian and I will keep you personally informed of how your donation changed Brian’s life.

    I really aplaud your effort and have posted them on my own blog.
    I’m wondering however, if there are not more sustainable ways of helping the family.

    Its one thing to send them money for clothes and food in the meanwhile but can we mobilize in a way that helps them escape poverty by perhaps raising some capital and buying them a modest piece of land with the money.
    U.S. $ 5K can buy a half acre somewhere and even have left overs to buy construction materials.

    Or perhaps set up a long term education fund for baby brian so that we pay his school fees from now through uni…. Local banks in Kenya have such accounts…. We can get this kid a good private school education.

    Just thinking of long term ways of helping.
