Link a Child

Sponsor a learner. Change a generation.

For as little as KSh 1,500 a month, you cover school fees, a uniform, books, and a daily meal for a child who would otherwise be out of school. You'll receive termly updates, photos, and report cards from your learner.

Programmes

Education, mentorship, meals, livelihoods.

Our four flagship programmes work as a system: keeping children fed, learning, and supported while empowering their parents and teachers with the tools to sustain that progress long after we leave the room.

Community

Built with not for our community.

Every child enrolled is identified by a community committee of parents, teachers, and youth leaders. We invest in local capacity so that decisions stay close to the families they affect.
