Our role
We are a Kenyan-Registered Community-Based Organisation (CBO) that that provides alternative and sustainable interventions to alleviate the plight of children, women and men in difficult circumstances.
Our Projects
Our projects are always community-focused and are designed to improve the quality of local communities in the Ewaso Ngiro area in southern Kenya.
the maasai widows project
With the loss of the head of the family, Maasai widows endure loss of status, property and inheritance rights. In order to generate income they are forced to remove their children from school to help tending animals and other household duties.
By working with widows and their families we provide assistance to enable children attend school and receive a good education in order to provide for the family in the future.
Our primary school also offers employment opportunities to the widows we support.
Building hope academy
Situated in rural Ewaso Gniro, southern Kenya, our primary school brings hope to a lot of children that were previously denied the opportunity to obtain an education due to the long distances to the nearest government school, wild animals and poverty.
The school opened in May 2013 with one classroom and 51 students and. Today we are proud to support 163 students with 8 classroms and 10 teachers.
The school is able to accommodate young girls, who face the dangers of FGM and early pregnancy, during high-risk holiday periods. Our goal is to build a dormitory for girls to extend the protection that we can offer.
student sponsoring
Supporting our students throughout their academic careers is a must. That is why we also support our pupils after they leave the Building Hope Academy, through high school and all the way through university.
We proudly support 38 local boys and girls to get the right education and enable them to fulfil their career dreams, with the hopes of one day giving back to their local community.
Our Impact
All our programs are active and growing every day. We keep track of the success and impact they bring to each of the communities. We are very proud of these numbers.
