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

Partner with companies and organizations to install accessible water purification systems for communities in need of 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

Make education accessible and affordable to all children in the communities where we work.

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 there are 3.6 million orphaned or vulnerable children. More than 1.2 million primary-school-aged children do not attend school. Many public schools are primitive rooms with dirt floors and no walls; books are rare and teachers don’t receive the necessary training they need. Government schools are supposed to be free-access to everyone, but when poor students can’t afford shoes or a uniform, schools close their doors to them. We are going to make education work for the children in Awasi, Kenya. Imagine a school where every child is welcome, regardless of finances. Imagine a school where children who never had the chance to step foot inside a classroom, will outperform their peers across the region. This school will provide education to orphaned and impoverished children in the area. Children will learn to become leaders who will do things in their community and country that we could never.
