$2,650 towards $3,600

Join me in supporting real change. Please consider helping Umoja Partnership provide the kind of nutrition that empowers students to learn and reach their full potential. Education is the best path out of poverty for orphaned and vulnerable children. The children do the work. We give them the chance. It's the only thing that can create sustainable change. Join us in transforming impoverished communities - one child at a time!

Umoja Partnership is a locally-led, globally-supported, interfaith partnership that helps children in western Kenya thrive by providing school lunches. In a typical year, $25 would feed one of our students for the entire year, but due to the trifecta of weather conditions in Kenya, the COVID-19 pandemic, and worldwide inflation, the costs of maize and beans have doubled. Our families are struggling more than they have in some time. In 2023, we are serving 4,371 students. We also provide additional weekend and holiday meals for 150 child-headed households.

We will need to raise $50 per child to cover the costs for all needy students. The cost per school is $3,600. With your help we hope to add a new school in 2024 for a total of 21 schools.

Any amount raised toward our goal will fulfill our purpose of keeping kids in school and offering them a pathway out of poverty through education.

Just a small donation will go a long way to empower children and change their future!

Asante Sana!
