From our base in Northumberland, Development Direct has had a proud record of cultivating sustainable partnerships that result in mutual learning and benefits, with a focus on education and health for children, families and communities.
Since our inception in 2003, when we became registered charity No. 1099731, our small band of dedicated trustees and volunteers have been involved in a wide range of projects and activities. The Projects page showcases just a few of the things we have undertaken.
Today our efforts are primarily focused on two major initiatives. One is developing school partnerships and helping children of Mbita (a town in southwestern Kenya) access education through sponsorships. The other is providing support to the Maasai community of Lempintira (formerly known as Labentera), which is close to the world famous Maasai Mara National Reserve.
