Problem.
Education and poverty are inextricably linked, and sadly, it is an essential part of childhood that is denied to millions.
Without access to basic education, the outlook is bleak and the cycle of poverty continues.
Process.
We are thrilled to be partnering with local schools, to bring education to those who need it most

Operating in the heart of Kenya, in Majengo, Nyeri County, our contribution to school communigies is providing a gateway to a brighter future.
Our on-the-ground team works within the community to build strong relationships with family members and children, ensuring acceptance into the community and families.
Each child that attends school has the opportunity to learn, play and simply be a child - a right denied to so many. Every day they receive two meals of breakfast and lunch, plus snacks, ensuring we feed their bodies as well as their minds.
The children are from some of the poorest families within the slum, and without access to school, these children can go days without food and water.
In 2023 we start with one school, but by 2030, our goal is to have schools spread across Kenya, creating far-reaching and lasting change.

Impact.
Knowledge is power, and inspired minds create lasting change.
Our goal is to use education as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty in the heart of Africa.

If all children in low-income countries simply had basic reading skills, an estimated 171 million people globally could escape extreme poverty. And if all adults finished high school, we could cut the global poverty rate by over half. This is the world we strive to attain, harnessing the power of education to break the cycle of poverty.
