How it all began
In 2008 a young Kenyan couple began to offer a very basic education to local children, whose families could not pay school fees because of poverty. Even though the couple had minimal resources, they provided classes, as they were able, but prayed for more support. During a visit to the Kakaro area, two of our trustees met the young couple, visited their two roomed mud school, and having seen the poverty and the desperate need they could not return to England without offering some support. Kenya Thriving was born out of compassion for the deprived and vulnerable children of this community.
Transforming Lives, Building Futures
Kenya Thriving was established to support vulnerable children in Kenya by partnering with community-driven initiatives. Initially, this was done by partnering with a local children’s home. However in line with recent Kenyan guidelines, these children and young people are now fostered by guardians within their local communities.
Through our new Learning Stars Initiative, we provide these same children and young people with access to quality education, ensuring that orphans and at-risk children receive the right support they need, not just to survive but to thrive.
Our vision is to create a future where children have the opportunity to learn in a safe and nurturing environment, which offers hope and inspiration; enabling a child to shine and develop To achieve this, we provide scholarships and essential resources that enable children to attend school, pursue their dreams, and break the cycle of poverty.
Since 2012, Kenya Thriving has helped improve the lives of many children by providing grants for school fees, uniforms, learning materials, food, hygiene supplies, medical care, and mentorship programs. Our new Learning Stars Initiative will continue these provisions with a major emphasis on education.
100% of each donation directly benefits the children, funding their education and well-being. Contributions are spent within the local economy, fostering sustainability and empowering communities.
Through the Learning Stars Initiative, we are committed to shaping a brighter future—one child at a time.
