Overview
Mission
Fund projects in rural Kenya that support education, promote sustainability and provide food and shelter to those in need.
What it reported doing in 2024
Transfer to Kenya Widows & Orphans program: support for over 60 widowed grandmothers, many caring for orphaned grandchildren. Monthly the women receive basic food staples (beans, carrots, potatoes, flour, maize, rice) that help these extended families survive. Agricultural education around sustainable farming along with drought tolerant seeds, and fertilizer were also program elements this year.

The verdict
