Helping the Kenyan Community
The Paper Chase Trust, a Registered Charity Based in the UK and Kenya
The Paper Chase Trust is a small but very effective charity established in 1996 to help some of the poorest
sections of the community in Kenya. It all began ten years ago when Shirley & Eddy Johnson of Runcorn, Cheshire,
were on holiday at the Turtle Bay Beach Club, Watamu.
There, they met and forged a friendship with Festus Jefwa, a local man from the Malindi District.At a meeting
with his family they noticed many children, and in particular the babies,were badly affected with mosquito bites.
These bites when left untreated could lead to malaria and even the death of the child.
On returning to their hotel Shirley & Eddy set about making some samples of home made mosquito nets for use in
the village huts.
From there the charity has grown, and has helped fund medical equipment, supplies, schools and an ambulance!
