  • Description

    Description

    Our project began 14 years ago with one goal in mind: to reach out and support disadvantaged children and families in our community. What started as a small initiative has grown steadily over the years, and today we are able to make a real difference in the lives of many people. We focus on offering practical help and genuine care through education, healthcare, clean water, feeding programs, recreation, and small livelihood projects that help families build a better future.

    Everything we do is guided by our core values. We believe in hope, compassion, and treating everyone with dignity. We want every child and family to have equal access to education, healthcare, and nutritious food. We see ourselves as partners in the development of our community, walking alongside those we serve and helping create opportunities that can change lives.

    Our work aims to strengthen and support programs in education, agriculture, healthcare, and sports. We also put a strong focus on sustainability, building resilience, and supporting existing community efforts. In addition, we spend time raising awareness about important health issues and offering guidance to children and their families. By teaching practical life skills, we hope to empower individuals to live safer, healthier, and more confident lives.

    We welcome both short- and long-term volunteers to support our mission through a variety of meaningful roles. Volunteers are needed in areas such as direct service, administrative support, and fundraising. Most will serve as teachers, tutors, mentors, doctors, builders, and coaches.

    Volunteers will play a vital role in organizing events, participating in fundraising activities, developing new resources, providing logistical and promotional support, and offering leadership and guidance. Their contributions will align with the broader vision of our school and organization but are not limited by it—there is room to serve based on individual skills and passion.

    In addition, volunteers will assist in feeding, caring for, educating, and supporting vulnerable children in Kenya. They will also contribute to our art projects, farming activities, charity outreach, and more.

    Volunteers are expected to dedicate approximately 5 hours per day to community service. Their involvement may include teaching , proposal writing, and providing care for the sick, and other vulnerable individuals. They may also engage in video filming and documentation, cooking, and other activities they are passionate about.
