Sponsor A Child
We firmly believe that a basic education is the key to a more hopeful future for the children of Kenya. While primary education (K-8) is provided free by the government, our students need uniforms, shoes, money for books and fees, as well as a nourishing daily meal. Your monthly gift of $40 per month helps us provide all of these, and keeps that child in school. Please scroll down to see children waiting for your sponsorship.

Joshua and his 3-year old brother live with their parents in Kibera. He is a bright child who loves drawing and coloring. Their father is the bread winner of the family. However, he doesn't earn much working as a casual laborer and is unable to provide for the family and also pay for Joshua's school fees.
Kibera is the name of an area located within the heart of the capital of Nairobi. It is the third largest slum in the world with over a million people living in a very small area. Life in Kibera is difficult, with most of its residents living in extreme poverty earning less than a dollar a day. Kibera is a maze of narrow, deeply rutted alleys lined with mud and corrugated metal houses. The majority living here lack the most basic services such as electricity, clean water, and medical care.
