Granaghan Outreach Charitable Trust was formed in a follow up to the first parish voluntary project undertaken in October 2006. On the 9th of October 2006 a team of 13 volunteers below from the Granaghan Parish in County Derry travelled to Siaya Town in Western Kenya to take part in the first parish volunteer project consisting of the renovation of 5 classrooms at the Nyasidhi School. The original idea for a volunteer project was generated by Fr. Kieran ODoherty and the Granaghan Parish Council in early 2006. Advice was sought from Moving Mountains, a Belfast and Nairobi based charity, and together with their help, an idea developed into a confirmed project. Interest soon spread throughout the community and the foundation of a team of volunteers emerged.
