PROJECT KENYA
New Hope UCC, Jackson
www.project-kenya.org

Project Kenya Charity works with schools, communities, villages, and medical facilities to provide supplies, support, and assistance. Project Kenya works in areas that are typically forgotten about by other major organizations. The goal of Project Kenya is not to force change upon the villages, but to help facilitate positive, healthy change. Often this is done through education. With the consent and understanding of the villagers we will assist, teach, and build programs and facilities that will ensure a higher quality of life for all.

Project Kenya is strictly donation run and no one in the organization is paid. We pride ourselves on knowing that the donated money goes to the projects and people of Kenya.

Children and education are our focus.

The lack of education often leads to a mess of issues...lack of employment, lack of food, lack of medical care, and lack of life. Our main focus is on children and their ability to receive proper education. Currently in Kenya children can attend public school for 8 years-free of charge. These public schools are often under funded and do not have many of the needed text books to even teach the children properly. Private school is expensive and limited. But for many children this public education will at least give them minimal skills and abilities. For those families that can afford to send their child onto secondary school they will receive some financial support from the government, but not enough to pay for all 4 years. Most families cannot afford this and again private schools are the better option.

Helping to educate children and their parents is our number one priority. This education may come through us providing food so that they can focus on their studies or through simple donations of school supplies. We hope you find our website and goals empowering.

We try to embrace the following:

"There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those."
Mother Theresa

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead
