In Kenya – Samuel and Joseph Manda
Samuel is a wonderful individual who Sophie Hendin, the charity’s founder, met on a trip to Kenya in 2005. Samuel has dedicated his life to helping others. As well as running the Hendin Academy he has been involved in the building of The Soma Leo Academy in Lake Victoria.
Samuel passionately believes that children should be given the opportunity to get a foundation in well-being and education in order to give them the best possible chance for a future life of self reliance. In recent years Samuel has been assisted by his son Joseph. All staff are paid for their work.
