Packing for a difference

If you’re visiting us and would like to donate some small items that could make a big difference to a local community or school, we would be delighted to help you get involved.

How it works

Governors’ Camp Collection proudly supports three schools:

  • The Mara Rianda Primary School in the Masai Mara
  • The Loldia Primary School in the Great Rift Valley
  • The Mugie School in Laikipia

How You Can Help:

  • Donate Supplies: We can purchase and distribute much-needed items on your behalf, supporting local businesses in the process. See the list of specific needs below.
  • Visit a School: If you are interested in visiting a school during your stay with us, we would be happy to arrange a visit during term time (outside of the examination period).

Basic Stationery

  • Chalk (white and coloured)
  • Pencils, crayons, markers, erasers
  • Glue sticks, pencil sharpeners
  • Pens (blue and black ballpoint)
  • Exercise books (lined and squared)
  • Compasses, protractors, rulers
  • Art supplies (paints and colours)

First Aid/Health Kits

  • Sanitary items (reusable sanitary pad kits are preferred- we can source these in Kenya)

Learning Materials
