As a nonprofit and charitable organization, we partner with local African charities and NGOs to provide clean water, healthcare, food, education, orphan care, and more. Every project we support helps African children and families build a healthier, more self-sufficient future.
We’ve worked with partners to provide clean water across Africa for many years. Whether it’s for a school, clinic, or farm, these life-changing water projects improve health, reduce hardship, and offer hope for a better future. Thanks to our generous supporters, our work continues in 2026 and beyond.
We currently work with local organizations in these African countries: Cameroon, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Our programs span across Africa through trusted partnerships with locally based charities and community organizations. Each partner leads projects that provide clean water, food, education, healthcare, and orphan care tailored to their communities’ needs. Together, we build healthier, more self-sufficient futures.

This is why we have Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) programs.
Because clean water and safe sanitation are essential — and when they finally arrive, this is what it can look like: relief, pride, and real joy.
What you’re seeing in this video is powerful, especially knowing the reality behind it. Across sub-Saharan Africa, nearly 40% of people still don’t have access to clean water — even in places where water is nearby. And when water isn’t safe and sanitation is limited, the effects spread fast: more illness, more malnutrition, and preventable health crises. The World Bank links these conditions to devastating outcomes, including the highest maternal mortality rate in the world and about half of all under-five deaths globally.
This is why WASH isn’t optional.

According to the World Bank, nearly one-third of people in sub-Saharan Africa are facing food insecurity right now — and drought keeps pushing that number higher.
That’s why our food and agriculture programs matter so much. We’re helping families grow more of their own food, strengthen local farming, and build real self-sufficiency that lasts beyond one season.

💛 Thank you. Truly. 🧡
Because of your generosity this Giving Tuesday, the 300 children at the Seed School in Kibera will have something they can count on every day — a full meal, a focused mind, and the chance to simply learn like every child should.
Most of you will never meet the students you’ve helped. But today, your support reached across the world and made a real difference in a community where hunger is part of daily life.
Your gift meant something — to a child, to a family, to a school doing its best with what little it has.
And we are deeply grateful for every single person who chose to give.
Thank you for being part of this work. 🧡

As Giving Tuesday winds down, we’re so grateful for everyone who has helped us support the Seed School in Kibera.
There’s still time to feed a child before midnight — and it takes so little to make a real difference.
For 56 cents, you can provide two meals to a student who might otherwise go hungry.
Let’s finish strong together.

We’re making amazing progress today — thank you!
We’re getting closer to making sure all 300 children at the Seed School have meals they can count on.
If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, even a small gift today goes directly toward feeding a child who may otherwise go hungry.
A full stomach means a child can learn, participate, and just enjoy being a kid.

Today is Giving Tuesday — and you can change a child’s life for just 56 cents.
The Seed School sits in the heart of Kibera, one of the largest slums in Africa. Most families live in one-room homes made of mud and tin, and many children arrive at school hungry.
But inside the Seed School, students receive two meals a day — porridge for breakfast and ugali, beans, and vegetables for lunch — giving them the strength to learn, grow, and stay active and engaged.
Today, you can help feed all 300 students for the school year.
💛 56 cents = two meals
💛 $11.20 = a month
💛 $36.44 = a full year
