AIMS

The aim of our foundation,which was set up in 1997, is to offer financial and material support to the medical projects of the Mount Elgon Trust, Chepchoina, Kenya.

The locally founded trust is under the leadership of the Dutch doctor Bea Andersen-Schipper and its aim, supported by a comprehensive, is to significantly raise the living standards of the local population. The millenium development goals serve hereby as a guide.

Our sister foundation, Elimu Mount Elgon, with whom we work closely (see weblinks), focuses on the educational aspects of the Trust.

Over the years, SOK has attracted a growing group of donors from all over the Netherlands. It is governed by a committee comprised solely of volunteers, which means that almost all the funds received can be spent directly on the projects.
