Charity mission statement

Ann Gloag and children

Balcraig Foundation was founded in 1992 by Ann Gloag. The mission of the Foundation is to assist in the relief of human suffering and deprivation, to provide a place of safety for orphaned and destitute children and to improve access to education through adequate building facilities, textbooks and improved hygiene facilities.

The first project to be developed in Nairobi was KCH. It is from within this development that the new community and income generation projects are now being developed and managed. It is essential to the ethos of Balcraig Foundation that these projects are run from Kenya, by Kenyans for Kenyans.

Balcraig Foundation seeks to identify the most deserving underprivileged child projects and thereafter supports and guides these children to obtain a safe and healthy living environment, a good education and ultimately successful independent living conditions.
