Our Story

“Be More Josie“ is a school feeding program, begun in 2024, by Annie Kelly following a trip to Molo, Kenya to visit friends David and Janet Ngetich and their 5 children. 

David and Janet’s 3 youngest children attend Kirantich primary school; where a vast number of the 160 pupils attending may have only a flask of black tea to sustain them all day.

Some of these children may walk up to 2 hours a day to attend school. 
Annie felt compelled to get a feeding program started in the school, providing the children with breakfast and lunch.

 
The charity is founded in honour of Annie’s middle daughter Josie, who was a primary school teacher abroad; and tragically died at the age of 25 in 2019.

We are in the process of applying for UK charity status.

We believe no child should go hungry.

We are aiming to create a feeding progamme providing 2 meals per day for the 160 children.
