Our trustee’s are changing their roles slightly… but don’t worry, they’ll still be around!
We want to set up our graduates as independent and confident young people; how do we balance this with providing long term emotional and practical support from the Milele family?
In this blog we take a closer look at what it means to be a young girl in Kenya and some of the achievements of the girls on our sponsorship program.
After four hard years, on the 21st December 2018 Emmanuel graduated from the University of Nairobi with a 2.1 degree in Economics and Statistics!
Amy and Rieder announce the total amount raised at our 10 year anniversary ball!
Ahead of the big 10th Anniversary Ball next Saturday we held an informal event for sponsors to be able to meet up with Rieder and hear about how their sponsored children are getting on over in Kenya.
Dafydd Mann, from the recent television series ‘Autistic Superstars’ presents a Christmas music event “Dafydd Mann and the Elves” in aid of the charity ‘Milele’. The event will be held at Sapcote working men’s club on the 8th of December at 7 pm and will be a night of music through the ages performed live for this fantastic cause.
If you're free on the 8th of December it would be great if you could come along to hear some great music and help raise some funds for Milele!
Hello everyone! We did a car boot at the A47 near hinckley this morning and managed to raise a whopping £150! Thanks to the kind people on the gate who let us in for free and the even kinder people who bought things from our stall or made a donation, it was a really lovely morning and we thoroughly enjoyed it!
We often receive lots of wonderful donations of clothes, books, toys or shoes and most of them find their way out to Kenya eventually, however the few which are too big, bulky, heavy or which are not quite fitting with the culture we keep stored up until we have enough things to do a car boot! The money we raise then goes directly back into the charity and helps another child to start school.
So thank-you so so so much to everyone who has donated items to us, and please dont stop! Everything is very gratefully received.
If you think you have anything to add to our horde or just met us at the car boot and want to get in touch please do leave a message on this news article, or send us an email to milele@live.co.uk

Just a quick update to post some photos from the Party on the Beach.
Students from the University of Sussex have been working really hard for the last few months to plan the first event of 2010, 'Party by the Beach'. The event is being held at Concorde 2, a large music venue on the picturesque Brighton coastline. We are lucky enough to have 5 fantastic bands playing and the event is set to be a great night.
The tickets are £5 each with a student buy one get one free offer if purchased from the box office in Falmer House, University of Sussex. They are also being sold on the Concorde 2 website.
For more information take a look at the Concorde 2 website. Or join our facebook event 'Party By The Beach Fundraiser'
Hopefully we will see you there!
