Our Mission
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide communities with five core resources that meet the needs of basic survival and self-fulfillment – clean water, sustainable food sources, health & sanitation, education, safety & security.
Clean Water
Food
Work alongside local farmers and international agriculturalists to help communities raise and sell produce or livestock; provide meals to children suffering from hunger, and identify and address sustainable food challenges in communities.
Health
Construct facilities with adequate space to prevent the spread of disease, ensure health and hygienic needs of children are met, subsidize the cost of important medical resources, and partner with organizations to educate communities to improve their health.
Education
Safety
Ensure the security of our projects and school environments through training and access to necessary materials that promote safety for the youth.
Our Current Project
Awasi, Kenya
In Kenya more than 1.2 million primary-school-aged children do not attend school. There are several schools with primitive rooms, dirt floors and no walls; books are rare and teachers may not receive the necessary training they need. Linc Worldwide saw the poverty associated with poor education and wanted to make a difference. In January 2025 we opened the Awasi Education Centre in Awasi, Kenya. This Catholic primary school serves orphaned and vulnerable children in the surrounding towns with a strong education, access to clean drinking water, food, access to healthcare and more. We enrolled 61 children for the 2025 school year through our Child Sponsorship Program. In January 2026 we enrolled additional students and now have 99 students from preschool through third grade. We have 2 additional sponsored students who attend schools for children with special needs. Each year we will enroll additional students until we reach capacity. Our goal is to have one class per grade, from preschool through Grade 9. We also hope to drill a well and install solar panel powered pumps by the end of 2026.
