Toen het weeshuis een jaar later met sluiting werd bedreigd, voelde ze zich geroepen om de leiding over te nemen en besloot ze het Friese Hurdegarijp achter zich te laten en zich permanent in Kenia te vestigen. In 2004 voegde haar man Fester zich bij haar en samen verruimden ze hun horizon en maakte het weeshuis plaats voor projecten waar de nadruk op onderwijs, noodopvang en pleegzorg kwam te liggen. Tegenwoordig is\u00a0Blessed Generation\u00a0actief op\u00a0drie locaties in Kenia en biedt het kinderen onderwijs, zorg en een toekomst. Samen met zo&#8217;n 100 gekwalificeerde Keniaanse medewerkers zetten wij ons in om kwetsbare kinderen weer een kans te geven. Dit gebeurt in nauwe samenwerking met de Keniaanse\u00a0kinderbescherming, zie hiernaast de aanbevelingsbrief. Meer dan scholing \u2026 Wij zien onderwijs als de sleutel naar de toekomst. Tegelijk kijken we veel breder dan alleen het kind en basisonderwijs. We kiezen er heel bewust voor na de lagere school door te gaan met vervolgopleidingen, maatschappelijke begeleiding te bieden en gezinnen te ondersteunen voordat ze uit elkaar vallen. Hiermee vergroten we de sociale weerbaarheid en verminderen we risico&#8217;s als criminaliteit, radicalisering en tienerzwangerschappen. We ondersteunen met medische zorg, huisvesting en voeding. Pas als het echt niet anders kan, in overleg met de kinderbescherming, nemen we het kind op in de tijdelijke opvang. &#8220;Echt geluk komt uit het helpen van anderen&#8221; Ria Fennema Wat we doen Onderwijs voor 1400+ kinderen Van kleuterschool tot en met universiteit \u2013 deels via onze eigen basisscholen en middelbare school. Schoolboeken &amp; uniformen Financiering van schoolboeken en -uniformen voor onze leerlingen. Voedselprogramma Een voedselprogramma op alle BG-locaties voor dagelijkse maaltijden. Outreach programma. Kinderen en hun grootouders of andere vervangende ouders overeind en verder helpen. Zo kunnen meer kinderen in hun eigen omgeving opgroeien. Noodopvang Bieden van tijdelijke opvang voor kinderen die dringend veilig onderkomen nodig hebben. Pleegzorg Bieden van huisvesting en verdere ondersteuning aan pleegouders die bereid zijn om kinderen in hun gezin op te nemen die onder de zorg van Blessed Generation vallen. Word vrijwilliger Wil jij ook bijdragen? Met jouw inzet kunnen we n\u00f3g meer kinderen en gezinnen ondersteunen. Word vrijwilliger Ons werk wordt gezien Interview met Ria op EO Visie In juli 2018 bezocht radiomaker Zegert van der Linde onze Blessed Generation en interviewde Ria over haar werk en visie. Luister naar de\u00a0podcast om haar inspirerende verhaal te horen. Albert Schweitzer Award of Excellence In\u00a02004\u00a0ontving Ria de\u00a0Albert Schweitzer Award of Excellence, \u00a0van\u00a0Chapman University in de VS.\u00a0Deze prestigieuze prijs erkent mensen die, net als Albert Schweitzer, hun leven wijden aan het dienen van de mensheid. lees meer Geloof als uitgangspunt Blessed Generation Kenia werkt vanuit een christelijke overtuiging. In Kenia is iedereen gelovig en past het hebben van een geloof ook in de cultuur. Er wonen christenen, hindoes, moslims en ook mensen met een inheemse religie. Blessed Generation maakt hierin geen onderscheid en helpt kinderen en hun verzorgers ongeacht hun religieuze achtergrond. \u00a0 Resultaten Sinds de oprichting hebben we meer dan 1400 kinderen en hun gezinnen kunnen helpen. Oud-studenten hebben hun opleiding afgerond en komen vaak terug als ze eenmaal werk en gezin hebben als vrijwilliger of sponsor. Zo heeft\u00a0 \u00e9\u00e9n van de eerste afgestudeerden &#8211; inmiddels een eigen gezin en werkzaam bij een bank &#8211; alweer een paar jaar zitting in het bestuur.\u00a0\u00a0 Lokaal effect In totaal bieden we werkgelegenheid aan ruim honderd medewerkers, cre\u00ebren we veilige zones en versterken we de lokale economie door de inkoop van voedsel, studie- en andere materialen, schooluniformen, taxiritten en bouw- en onderhoudswerk. Financi\u00eble bijdragen Donaties &amp; vrijwilligers Financieel moeten we het hebben van donaties en giften. Fester en Ria doen dit werk onbetaald en worden onderhouden door donaties uit eigen kring van familie en vrienden. Inzamelingsacties &amp; bezoeken Vanuit Nederland ontvangen we giften via inzamelingsacties en van groepen vrijwilligers die via sport, kerk of werkgever een fysieke bijdrage komen brengen, vaak gekoppeld aan een bezoek of reis. Bouwreizen &amp; promotie Deze bouwreizen zorgen voor veel promotionele ondersteuning in Nederland. Deelnemers raken verknocht aan onze projecten en blijven langdurig betrokken. Partners &amp; kostenbesparing Dankzij partners in Nederland (vaak bedrijven) beperken we de kosten. Zo komt ruim 99% van elke euro ten goede aan het kind en onze steun in Kenia. Donaties &amp; vrijwilligers Financieel moeten we het hebben van donaties en giften. Fester en Ria doen dit werk onbetaald en worden onderhouden door donaties uit eigen kring van familie en vrienden. Inzamelingsacties &amp; bezoeken Vanuit Nederland ontvangen we giften via inzamelingsacties en van groepen vrijwilligers die via sport, kerk of werkgever een fysieke bijdrage komen brengen, vaak gekoppeld aan een bezoek of reis.

Ontmoet Ria Ria verblijft regelmatig een periode in Nederland.\u00a0 Wilt je haar ontmoeten of haar uitnodigen om over haar werk te spreken? Neem dan contact op met Agnes Kuperus,\u00a0die haar agenda tijdens haar verblijf in NL beheert. En natuurlijk onze ambassadeurs Wij zijn erg trots dat Olympisch kampioenen Bob de Jong (schaatsen)\u00a0 en Mark Huizinga (judo) onze ambassadeurs zijn. Beiden zijn ze bij Blessed Generation in Kenia geweest en zetten zich in voor de kinderen in Kenia. Bob de Jong \u201cIk ben blij dat ik als topsporter een klein stukje mag bijdragen aan een betere wereld door ambassadeur te zijn voor Blessed Generation. Ik heb met veel plezier meegewerkt aan het bouwen van de BG Highschool in 2015, 2016 en 2017. De kinderen kunnen naar school gaan in hun vertrouwde omgeving en worden goed voorbereid op een vervolgstudie of opgeleid om zelf een baan te vinden.\u201d\u00a0bobdejong.net Mark Huizinga \u201cRia, Fester en hun staf doen in Kenia geweldig werk en bieden troost, hoop en toekomst aan<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2475","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/Ph4NFG-DV","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2475"}],"version-history":[{"count":1514,"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2475\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30906,"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2475\/revisions\/30906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blessedgeneration.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
