Kenya Watamu Educational Support Trust
How we started
Watamu, on the east coast of Kenya, is a beautiful area with a wonderful community that makes it an idyllic tourist destination. Walk along the long white sands enjoying a cooling breeze, swim, snorkel in the warm Indian Ocean, watch whales and dolphins, visit the coral gardens and get to know the wonderful people; it all makes for an amazing unforgettable holiday experience.
But, although there is always a smile on their faces, the daily life of local Kenyans is a constant struggle against poverty.
