The nominated charity for 2011 is Zest for Life. http://www.zfl.org.uk.

 This is a small Shropshire based charity that operates to support two schools and their communities in rural western Kenya:
Innis Education Centre (primary) and Miriu Secondary School.  
Many of the students sponsored by the charity have no families as a result of HIV.
Others are from poor families who struggle to pay the fees to keep the children in school.
Special projects for 2011 include new school buildings, a library for Innis so that pupils can borrow books to read at home and development of Women’s Enterprise Projects
