SOS & GE / BHGE “Mount Kenya Challenge”: together giving vulnerable children a home.

"The Mount Kenya Challenge" is a partnership between SOS Children’s Villages International (SOS CVI) and General Electric / Baker Hughes, a GE Company (GE / BHGE) with the goal of raising awareness and funds for orphaned and abandoned children under the care for SOS Villages.

This challenge is completely outside my comfort zone, yet I am excited to push my limits and try something which I have NEVER done before - all for a noble cause to raise money for less fortunate children

Donate Now and Make a Difference.

GE/BHGE volunteers are climbing Mount Kenya to raise funds and make a lasting impact on the lives of the children living in the SOS Villages in Lebanon and Egypt.

Syrian Refugee Children in Sferai, Lebanon

All your donations will be dedicated to directly benefit the social integration needs to support the successfully integrated 28 Syrian refugee children, who have no other family, into family houses in the Sferai Village, Lebanon.

The brutal war in neighboring Syria has displaced many children, of which many refugees have fled to Lebanon. Watch the Video

Back-to-School Program in Alexandria, Egypt

The campaign will also impact 325 children in SOS Alexandria and provide them with educational scholarship and back to school supplies. In addition, 13 talented youth will receive laptops to help them continue their education and secure their future.

Note for GE/BHGE Employees: Please remember to request for donation matching through GE Foundation.
