About Sanata Charitable Trust

The Sanata Charitable Trust is a registered charity and consists of two Trusts, one based in the United Kingdom, the other in Gilgil, Kenya.  The purpose of the UK Trust is to generate funds for the development and ongoing costs of the Restart Africa Children’s Centre.

Restart Africa children’s home was established in 2008 in response to the desperate needs of street children in Gilgil who are at serious risk of violence, abuse and starvation. Starting with 6 children, the centre has expanded over the years to a purpose-built home that currently has nearly 100 children in its care. Receiving no government funding, the centre is fully reliant on donations and sponsorship to finance operations. For the children in its care, Restart Africa fosters a loving, safe home, with meals, welfare and education, enabling them to enjoy their childhood and the opportunity to fulfil their potential. When it is time for the young adults to leave the permanent care of Restart, they are equipped with a qualification in their chosen field that will enable them to rejoin Kenyan society and build a success future for themselves. In conjunction with the life-changing benefits Restart Africa creates for those in its care, it also supports the local community by providing a range of employment opportunities in a safe and respectful working environment.

Impact of Role

1. Fuelling the Mission

• Every event organised and every pound raised goes directly towards programmes that protect and empower vulnerable children and women.
• Volunteers help generate the funds that allow Emerge Worldwide to deliver training in schools, create resources, and support awareness campaigns.

2. Expanding Reach & Awareness

• Events are not just about money — they also raise the charity’s visibility and influence.
• By helping to plan and run events, volunteers spread the message of exploitation prevention to a wider audience, attracting new supporters and partners.

3. Building Community & Partnerships

• Volunteers help bring people together through fundraising dinners, charity runs, community fairs, and awareness campaigns.
• These events build a sense of shared purpose and create lasting relationships with donors, schools, businesses, and local communities.

4. Creating Memorable Experiences

• With creativity and enthusiasm, volunteers help design fun, inspiring, and impactful events that engage people’s hearts.
• These experiences encourage people to give generously and stay connected to the cause long-term.

5. Sustaining the Charity’s Growth

• By contributing to fundraising targets, volunteers ensure Emerge Worldwide can expand its projects, train more schools, produce more resources, and campaign for systemic change.
• This means their behind-the-scenes efforts translate into life-changing impact for survivors and prevention for those at risk.
