Problem.
We believe education should never be a privilege, it’s a right. Yet for millions of children across Kenya, poverty keeps school out of reach.
Without access to basic education, the outlook is bleak and the cycle of poverty continues.
Process.
We’re doing things differently, and are proud to be partnering with local schools, to bring education to those who need it most.
-
We've partnered with schools across Kenya, where we sponsor children who are from some of the poorest families in the region, and without support, their outlook is bleak.
Our sponsored children have their full annual tuition covered, ensuring they have the opportunity to attend school in the hope of a brighter future.
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, ensuring we feed their bodies as well as their minds.
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.

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.
We’re not about one-off handouts. We’re about long-term change. Because when a child is educated, an entire generation is empowered.
