About Us

 

Established in March 2006, AVIF is an independent non-profit UK registered charity. We are registered with the UK government's Her Majestys Revenue and Customs ref. XR99385 but not with the main Charity Commission due to our small size* and low income. We receive no funding from the UK or Kenyan governments and no significant sustained funding from other sources.

*Exception from registration has been extended until 2012 where the annual income is less than £100,000, allowing for an expected review of registration thresholds in 2011.

All our work is archived on the blog and previously on Blogger here.

To meet any of our volunteers and discuss their experiences we have a large FaceBook Group, and Fan Page (click logo).

 

 

 

AVIF works in partnership with many other communities and organizations, including:

Enkito Manyatta
