Collection of bracelets made by volunteers

 
 

Volunteers made the bracelets of the Center Narovinu in October 2021 for the 18th birthday of the Island of Hope Community Centre. They created a beautiful collection of bracelets, which are decorated with Kenyan wooden or bone beads. You can adjust the self-tightening knot according to the size of your hand (children's, women's, men's). With this collection, volunteers want to support the adulthood of the center, which includes a clinic, kindergarten, primary and secondary school, orphanage, farm, and support its further development. 100% of the earnings will therefore be returned to the project.

Bracelets from The Island of Hope

 
 

The children made bracelets from Island of Hope in the spring of 2022. In July 2019, a volunteer named Bohunka taught the children how to tie the knots, and since then, the girls have been making the bracelets themselves. The result is again a beautiful collection of bracelets decorated with beads, shells, and seeds from Kenya. You can adjust the self-tensioning knot according to the size of your hand (children's, women's, men's). They were specifically made for you by the girls Aquiline, Ashly, Beryl, Eugine, Eunice, Evvy, Grace, Christine, Iddah, Jesca, Josiah, Katka, Molly, Sally, Sharone, Sheril, Trovencia, Vivian, Zdenka, and Zonica. With this collection, the children want to support the operation of their school, which is part of the Island of Hope Community Centre.

Gift Certificates

Do you want to give to your loved ones an unusual gift that makes sense? Buy a gift certificate of Centrum Narovinu and support specific program Donate education, Donate health or Donate hope.

You help specific children in Kenya by purchase of gift certificates. Gifted children are introduced three times a year in the bulletin of the Centrum Narovinu, along with a list of things that were taken within the programs in the community center Island of Hope.

Amounts and things on certificates correspond with those which are provided in these programs in Kenya. At the same time we are trying to organize projects by the most meaningful way and it may happen that in the given period another matter will be purchased but always within the same program and the same value.

Let the support brings you joy sobrings joy as it brings joy to specific children in Kenya.

The certificate is convertible, the size is 30 x 10.5 cm while decomposed and 20 x 10,5 cm when composite.

Donate education

30% of children from Sub-Saharan Africa cannot attend the school.  With your help we are changing this. The program Donate Education provides the children in Kenya with the opportunity for a better future through the program Adoption of African children – Project of long distance help.

 

 

Donate hope

50% of the inhabitants in the Rusinga Island are children up to 15 years old and most of them are orphans. With your help we are giving them new home. The program Donate Hope provides the children in the community center Island of hope of Rusinga Island in Kenya with necessary things for living.

 

 

Donate health

For most inhabitants in Sub-Saharan Africa, the access to health care is not available. Each year 4.4 million children under 5 years die from preventable and curable diseases. With your help we are changing this. The program Donate Health provides children in Kenya with quality health care.
