Gennarosity Abroad is a not-for-profit organisation that raises funds for projects located in rural communities along the Rift valley region of Kenya.

Gennarosity Abroad began in 2010 during my second trip to Africa, where I had spent 6 months volunteering and becoming a part of the community. The idea for the charity came about when I realised that I was very fortunate in my upbringing and surroundings, having lived my entire life in the beautiful city of Sydney, and that my education, my resources and my passion meant there was a lot I could d

o to help others. I have always been a solution oriented person, where if I see a problem I want to know how to fix it. Not worrying just about why it has happened, but worry about the ‘how and what I can do to help.’ This is where Gennarosity Abroad began. On that trip in 2010, I was volunteering on an international program with Madventurer, where we were teaching and building at Karunga’s Primary School campus. While the work we were doing was focused on the primary school, I couldn’t help but notice the kindergarten a mere few meters away, in all its cardboard glory. The kindergarten classroom was in the same original state it had been when it was built thirty years prior. The same cardboard walls that were old and decrepit, the same wooden desks and chairs that were falling apart, and the same timber roof that was caving in. I knew instantly what I had to do, and this is how Gennarosity Abroad began. Within 3 months I had raised $9000 and organised a team of local builders to completely regenerate the classroom in a brand new location. Timber wood and iron sheets were now the walls and the roof. There was glass windows put in, cement floors, and all new wooden desks and chairs for the students. One of the highlights of the construction, that was made possible by the leftover funds raised for the kindy was an office for Mary, the kindergarten teacher. This had never existed before. The kindy was renamed “Karunga’s Emanuel Kindergarten,” in honour of the fundraising efforts from the Emanuel School community, which was the school I graduated from in Sydney. The kindergarten signified more than a greater education for the kids of Karunga; it signified the beginning of Gennarosity Abroad, and it would be the beginning of many projects built to help less fortunate communities based on the generosity and good will of those passionate about making the world a better place. The focus of Gennarosity Abroad is to help local communities, while getting them involved in the charity’s work, and establishing developments that will continue to exist and flourish long after Gennarosity Abroad has left. We aim to complete projects that will eventually become autonomous and sustainable through the efforts of the local community; bringing them together to prosper in a brighter future.

I woke up to the most beautiful birthday messages from New Hope Children’s Centre in Kenya. 🤍

For the past 16 years, Gennarosity Abroad has been helping provide food, baby formula, nappies, bunk beds, mattresses, school uniforms, medical support and so much more for these precious children and community.

This video is such a powerful and emotional reminder of the impact we have all made together over the years. What started as a small act of kindness has grown into something truly life changing.

Thank you so much to our entire Gennarosity Abroad family for your love, generosity and continued support. None of this would be possible without you. 🌍✨

Francis’s Chance to Break the Cycle

Thanks to the generosity of one family, Francis Otawa will begin a Diploma in Occupational Therapy in January 2026.

At Gennarosity Abroad, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools for change. By supporting Francis now, we’re providing more than just a qualification, we’re helping to establish dignity, opportunity, and hope where it has been scarce. This also means Francis can support himself and his three younger brothers, two still living in an orphanage.

You can’t choose the life you’re born into but you can choose to make a difference.

A year ago, I joined students from Emanuel School Sydney at Karunga’s Emanuel Kindergarten in Kenya, sharing the beauty of its people, places, and traditions. 🌍

At Gennarosity Abroad, we aim to inspire young people in Australia and Kenya to thrive, feel empowered, and make the most of the opportunities they have.

🎓 A Journey of Resilience & Hope

In 2021, we met Stephen Napoli Otawa, a 14-year-old who walked 14km barefoot to ask for a chance at an education. Thanks to your support, Stephen and his brother Francis graduated in 2024. Now, Stephen is headed to Kaimosi Friends University to study a Bachelor of Education (Arts)!

This milestone was made possible by the generosity of four incredible donors who covered Stephen’s university fees, accommodation, and basic needs like food, clothes, and a laptop.

Despite losing his mother, his grandmother, and his father to tragic circumstances, Stephen has never given up. His journey isn’t just about him; it’s about changing his family’s future and inspiring his community.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible. You’ve given Stephen the foundation he needs to succeed.

If you feel moved to support Stephen’s journey further or help his brother Francis with his Diploma in Occupational Therapy, please reach out. Together, we can keep transforming lives.

Small changes, big impact

At Kapkures Maternity, the addition of new curtains has transformed the wards, giving mothers the privacy and dignity they deserve. 🫶

We’re also proud to provide new chairs, creating more comfortable seating with space for every patient - no more overcrowding on benches.

Step by step, we’re working together to make maternity care safer, kinder, and more comfortable for women in our community. ❤️
