The origins: Amos
This is where the Boo Charity story truly begins - a single act of compassion that sparked a lifelong mission. What started as Sarah and Russell helping one child in need grew into a legacy of hope, shaping the foundations of the charity and everything we stand for today.

Boo has already made a huge impact on the lives of children in Kenya. However, over 2 million children still go without food, clean water and most importantly education every day. We have the power to change lives, through education, empowerment and creating employment opportunities.
Please help us make a difference, one person at a time.
