Nakuru Project, Kenya

In the summer of 2014 I, along with 13 other volunteers, will be travelling to Nakuru, Kenya with Orkidstudio to construct a new building for the St. Jerome's Children's Home.

The project will consist of dormitories, showers, toilets, a communal dining area, a kitchen and staff facilities, and will allow the orphanage to provide shelter, education and food for more children.
The design of the project will take form over the coming months by the volunteer group.

To help fund construction I have hosted a charity meal, taken part in my first triathlon and I am selling my own hand-thrown ceramic tableware which can be found here: richardjohnwatson.com. You can also donate here if you wish to support the project, any amount is welcome and hugely appreciated.

The charity: Orkidstudio is a non-profit humanitarian design organisation whose focus is to benefit young people and communities worldwide through innovative and sustainable architecture, art and design.
