Life at our schools and shelters
What changed for them
“The sponsorship paid my fees through nursing school. Today I care for patients, and my younger sister now believes she can follow me.”
Everlyne Atieno
Nursing student, 2021 graduate
“Before the support, I worried every term about school fees. Now both my children attend class and come home talking about their dreams.”
Peter Wekesa
Father of two, Bungoma
“I see sponsored pupils arrive on time, fed and ready to learn. Their grades and their confidence have grown in front of my eyes.”
Jane Nasimiyu
Teacher, Mumias Primary
Questions donors ask
Are my donations tax-deductible?
Yes. We are a registered 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations are tax-exempt. You will receive a receipt for every gift, large or small, to keep for your records.
Where does my money actually go?
Your gift supports our four pillars: education, medical support, food and shelter. Over 50 students have graduated with our support, and we keep our costs lean so more reaches the children.
How does child sponsorship work and can I stop anytime?
$50 a month sponsors one child’s school fees and meals. You receive updates about your child, and you can pause or stop your sponsorship at any time without penalty.
Who chooses the children you support?
Our local team in Western Kenya works with schools and community leaders to identify children in greatest need, so every sponsorship reaches a child who truly needs it.
Can I volunteer or travel to Western Kenya?
Yes. We welcome volunteers and visitors who want to see the work first-hand. Tell us your interests and dates, and we will help you plan a meaningful, well-supported visit.
Do you accept gifts of tablets or equipment?
We do. 320 tablets have been distributed to bridge the technology gap, and more devices help more students learn. Contact us before shipping so we can match your gift to a real need.
How do you report on results?
We share regular updates on graduates, school attendance, health support and meals provided, so you can see exactly what your generosity has made possible for each child and community.
