Be Part of a Lasting Investment in Community Wellbeing

The Ethel Foundation for the Aged invites partners, community members, professionals, businesses, friends and well-wishers to a special Fundraising Luncheon in support of the construction of a borehole in Katolo.

Our goal is to raise KSh 1,500,000 towards the project.

For Ethel Foundation, this initiative represents our commitment to supporting practical solutions that address community needs while creating benefits that extend beyond individual interventions.
