Empowerment Philosophy

We believe in empowering Kenyan leadership in our organization. We acknowledge that Kenyans know the cultural, political and environmental background of their own country, and we believe they know the best solutions to improve the lives of their community. We act as a partner who provides additional ideas, support and resources to refine Kenyan identified solutions to Kenyan identified problems.

Additionally, we seek ongoing input from program beneficiaries on how to improve the program to better meet the needs of future program participants. We seek their input on what works in our programs, what needs improvement and aspects of the program that may be found ineffective, such that we can constantly learn, evolve, and better serve our beneficiaries.

Finally, we know that the most impactful empowerment of disadvantaged communities comes through ensuring our resources benefit the members of the community who are most in need. Therefore, we work as a team with the communities we serve, ensuring transparency and integrity in our selection process of beneficiaries. We adhere to international child protection policies and abide by strict accounting and financial transparency standards.
