Scholarships for Kenya
Many children in Kenya are prevented from getting an education due to lack of funding, and support from family. So many children in Africa are orphaned as a result of their primary carers dying of AIDS.
How has Henley helped?
Our Kenyan Sponsorship student Daniel has now completed his 3rd and final year at RMIT. Since completing his studies Daniel has applied for a 4 year working Visa with Wesley Missions here in Melbourne. Wesley Missions provide a range of valuable services for children and young people in crisis, those who are experiencing homelessness and people with disabilities, just to name a few.
Since Daniels association has begun with Wesley, Henley has jumped on board and is taking part in their 2009 Christmas food collection appeal. We are hoping our donation will help a family enjoy a Christmas they may not have had without Wesley’s support.
Daniel has been apart of the Henley family for more than 3 years and has achieved not only brilliant academic results but has left behind him a string of community achievements for international students, trying to fit into a new culture at university. Congratulations on the completion of your studies Daniel. Henley would like to wish you all the very best for the future.
Henley provides scholarships to 13 Kenyan high school children. To see their third term results, click on their individual links below.

Indeed a Good Friday for The Royal Children's Hospital with Villawood Properties and Henley Homes raising a whopping $635,000 for their Good Friday Charity Home Auction today.
Fierce bidding saw a flurry of hands raised in order to secure the Charity Auction Home at the Alamanda estate all as part of the Good Friday Appeal 2010.
A long standing fundraising project for the Good Friday Appeal, with the fantastic result bringing the grand total of funds raised over the past 17 years, to $9,574,840.75 – all of which goes to The Royal Children's Hospital.
The house, a part of our brand new Kube luxury collection of homes, included numerous luxury inclusions and attracted some keen bidding on the day. This year saw Henley building and auctioning its 25th Home and Land package for the Good Friday Appeal. The Directors of Henley have now been supporting the Appeal for 17 years, a truly amazing feat and something the company is proud to be apart of.
Once again many thanks are in order here... firstly to all of the trades who donate much of their time, many of these guys are small business owners who really are giving up their wages to assist the cause and its these guys who are the real heroes. A big thanks to our many suppliers who have donated, as you can see, some big ticket items this year making the house a true stand out from many on the market today. To Villawood who have donated the block, to the Henley Construction, Design and production team who really worked wonders to have this house completed. Stay tuned for next year.
