Breaking the cycle of poverty

Who We Are And What We Do

Who We Are And What We Do

We’re empowering communities in western Kenya to break the cycle of poverty by providing education, healthcare, and opportunities for income-generation to create sustainable communities.  

We believe children should not grow up in institutions in isolation from society because of poverty, sickness, disease or death of parents. Children should live with dignity in a loving family, and without being disadvantaged or stigmatised by the cause of their vulnerability.

Our goal is to change lives for good.

Left untreated, the infection can escalate to tetanus, gangrene, or even the loss of limbs.
