The Kindu Trust
On St Valentine's Day 1998, whilst in Gondar, a city of well over 180,000 people in northern Ethiopia, Kate Fereday Eshete met a young orphan boy called Kindu. He was barefoot and wore ragged trousers. Thin, hungry, caked in dirt and crawling with flies and lice, he spent his days begging on the city's streets or searching for scraps of food in hotel dustbins. Kate fed Kindu and his friends from the street, some as young as 3 years old. Knowing that she would be leaving Gondar soon, she visited the local social affairs department to find out what was being done to help the street children. Under-resourced and over-whelmed by the scale of the problem, the social workers welcomed Kate's interest but were unable to offer a solution without funding. Determined to help Kindu and children like him in Gondar and elsewhere in Ethiopia, Kate founded The Kindu Trust in England in March 1998. She named the new charity after 7-year-old Kindu because it was her encounter with him that inspired her to take action.
