TAFA is a Community Based Organisation situated close to Loldia House, adjacent to Lake Naivasha. The project’s objective is to engage the youth of Kasarani Village in healthy social activities. By keeping the children (many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds) involved in the project, they are kept out of trouble and learn important life skills. It uses football and its community centre as a platform to do this.
The project is run by three teachers/mentors, who dedicate their time to train highly talented young boys and girls from the age of seven years to seventeen years old.
We support the project through the daily provision of “uji” (finger millet porridge). This simple meal ensures the children do not go hungry and provides them with energy required to concentrate in school and on the pitch. We also provide sports equipment, uniforms, food parcels for their families, stationery supplies and a monthly stipend for the mentors.
In our continued commitment to their development, 2024 saw the launch of the Children in the Wilderness Eco-Club programme at the centre. Every week, thirty young learners participate in engaging conservation education activities led by their dedicated Eco-Mentors. We often invite the children to visit Loldia House and arrange for educational game drives and boat rides which we hope will inspire this next generation to protect their natural heritage.
Loldia House guests are very welcome to visit the project.

Empower Through Giving: Donate Supplies
Looking for a direct way to support the children’s education? We gratefully receive donations of educational supplies. Visit our Packing for a Difference page for helpful suggestions.
Fuel Their Potential: Support Meals, Sports, and Education
You can also contribute to the vital resources that enable the children to attend the centre. We can facilitate the purchase and distribution of items such as meals, trophies and medals to celebrate their achievements, team uniforms and sports equipment like football boots and balls, and essential learning materials.
Choose Your Way to Give: Supplies or Online Donation
For your ease, we offer two convenient ways to contribute. You can bring supplies with you, or we can purchase them on your behalf for you to distribute during your visit. Our secure online donation link allows you to support TAFA from anywhere.
Unlock a Future: Sponsor a Child’s Secondary Education
Your sponsorship offers comprehensive support, providing all the essential resources for three full years of schooling at St. Andrew’s Tarabete Secondary School (or a similar institution).
For just $25-$40 per month, you can help a child to reach their full potential through secondary school.
A three-year commitment for a day student costs USD $900, while supporting a boarding student for the same period is USD $1500. This crucial funding encompasses their tuition, uniform, meals, local travel, stationery and personal allowance, and boarding fees (if applicable).
Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. We welcome donations to our bursary fund, allowing us to pool resources and ensure that each sponsored child has the financial security to complete all three years (Forms 2, 3, and 4) of their secondary education before we welcome new candidates.
The impact of this opportunity cannot be overstated. While primary education is largely accessible, secondary schooling in Kenya requires financial support that many families simply cannot afford. Completing secondary school becomes an unattainable dream for a significant portion of the youth, despite their immense potential.
For those who wish to create a deeper connection, we can provide regular updates on the academic progress of the child you sponsor, allowing you to witness the direct impact of your generosity.
