WHO WE ARE
Our mission is to provide education and health interventions which “light a path out of poverty” and bring hope
for a brighter future for impoverished students and communities in Kenya.
We believe that simply being born into poverty should not dictate the end of an individual’s story. Central to our
mission is economic inclusion: ensuring that women, children and young adults from impoverished
communities in Kenya can embrace hope for their futures. We place a special emphasis on empowering
women and girls to strive for gender equality and boost economic growth, that allows for individuals to break
out of the poverty cycle in the communities where we work. Since our founding in 2012 we have impacted
over 78,000 individuals from impoverished communities across Kenya.
