Donations

Mount Elgon Trust is committed to supporting the surrounding community in education, healthcare, and welfare. With short communication lines and hands-on involvement, we ensure that 100% of all donations go directly to the Trust, fully utilized for our projects and reaching the community without intermediaries.

If you would like to donate to MET or any of our specific projects, please contact us.

Our surrounding communities thank you in advance for your generosity!

Donations In-Kind

We collect clothing, shoes, books, bicycles, and toys in the Netherlands and ship them to Kenya, where they are distributed directly to families in need through our Trust projects.

Mount Elgon Trust also welcomes donations to support scholarships, school fees, and infrastructure. Core costs are covered by Mount Elgon Orchards, while additional support from partners and income-generating activities helps ensure that every contribution directly benefits the community.
