Kricket 4 Kenya is a new charity set up in th UK to collect sporting equipment, especially cricket gear, for under-privileged children in Kenya. It has been set up by MWR Solicitors in response to the current humanitarian situation in kenya.

K4K's website can be found at http://www.kricket4kenya.co.uk/ and states:

"We will be collecting unwanted cricket and other sports equipment during the next 12 months which will be transported to Kenya in 2007. Initially we set up the campaign to focus on cricket but wanted to give people the option to donate equipment and clothing from any sport.

If you have any unused or unwanted cricket and general sports equipment or clothing, don’t throw them away, give them a new home. We’re after anything sports related."

The charity has the support of both Cricket Kenya and the Friends of Kenya Cricket - Uk and will hopefully raise not only equipment for the children, but awareness of the situation in Kenya as well. The drop-off centre is at the MWR offices at 6 Cannon Street in Preston. There will also be a guest book, which will be taken over to Kenya with the kit, for people to sign and leave messages for the children.
