Project Kenya 2026

This January, Velocity is heading back to Kenya on a recce trip ahead of a much bigger charity build — and we’re not going alone.

We’re proud to be teaming up with our trade mates Tool Monster and PowerToolMate, alongside the brilliant charity Vision for Kids, to scope, plan, and deliver a project that leaves a real legacy — not just a quick fix.

This isn’t a jolly.
It’s boots on the ground, tape measures out, plans getting drawn, and work getting done properly.

What’s the mission?

On the main trip, the team will be rolling up their sleeves to deliver:

🔧 First & second fix work in a preschool

🚽 A brand-new toilet block — safe, clean, and fit for purpose

🛝 A proper playpark where kids can learn and play safely

☀️ Solar panels to bring reliable, sustainable power

In total, over 200 children at the main school will directly benefit from safer facilities, better learning spaces, and long-term improvements.

 

Building with communities

This is a big one for us. We don’t just fly in, build, and leave.

Every project is done side-by-side with local tradespeople and community teams already on the ground. That means:

• 🤝 Working alongside local builders and contractors

• 🧰 Donating tools and equipment that stay in the community

• 🛠️ Sharing trade skills and techniques — from fixing methods to safer installs

• 📐 Learning from local knowledge so what we build actually lasts

The goal is simple:
Leave behind upgraded facilities, skills, tools and confidence.

Why Kenya? Why Vision for Kids?

Vision for Kids has a proven track record of delivering practical, on-the-ground projects that genuinely improve children’s lives. We’ve seen it before. We’ve been part of it before. And that’s exactly why we’re going back.

How you can get involved 👇

💷 Tenner for Kenya

Backing the project is simple:

• You buy a £10 “Tenner for Kenya” gift card

• You get £10 to spend with us

• We match it with a £10 donation to the Kenya build

These donations help fund materials, transport, solar equipment, donated tools, and the local teams who help bring it all together.

 

Trade backing trade 👷

This is what the trade does best when it pulls together — brands, tradespeople, and customers using their skills and buying power for something bigger than the next job.

If you believe good tools should help build good futures, this is your chance to be part of it.
