New wheels for Happy House

Happy House has a new mini-bus to transport children in to school from the local community. The bus has been purchased with the money we have been able to claim in Gift Aid for the past year. Gift Aid is a scheme available to registered charities in the UK meaning they can claim extra money from HMRC. The charity or CASC can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, as long as you've paid the basic rate of tax and make the donation from your own funds.
This is a huge help to us, as Mama Sue says in this video, and we are so grateful to all those of you who Gift Aid your donations.
It is important that you tell us if your circumstances or your postal address changes and you can do this by contacting sue@childrenofwatamu.net Here we show you the mini-bus which will have seats installed and the required yellow and black "school bus" livery required by the Kenya Government by the the time school reopens after the current long holiday.
