Write to a Kenyan Pen-Pal

During a recent fact-finding trip to Kenya, ACIS director and webmaster, David Steggall was asked if it would be possible for our organisation to set up a way for people in Kenya to find a pen-pal in the UK, Europe or the USA.

So, here was are! A page for you to register your interest in contacting someone in Kenya by email.

KCIS supports a school on the Coast and we have a Children's Home in Kisii, near Lake Victoria. Many of the children, helpers, teachers and other staff at both these locations would like to write to an English-speaking person in the UK, Europe or the USA. So we are not limited to children. There are adults out there, too!

How it works

You register by clicking the link below, giving your details, and age group and gender of the person you would like to have as a pen-pal.

Although we do not ban adults from having a child as a pen-pal, all correspondence will be vetted before being passed on to the child in question to protect our children, most of whom are already vunerable due to their circumstances.

English is not the first language in Kenya. It is taught at junior school in most areas, but people living in rural areas may have difficulties in reading and writing. For this reason, correspondance may be translated by a carer, parent, teacher, helper, etc.
