#OneTeam for Kenya

Our team is dedicated to being an ally to our friends in Kenya. We committed to being advocates and a source of support for GRACE Nanana, Ruben Centre, and Kajiado Child Care Centre back in 2017. Now, as they wade through the impacts of a global pandemic and historical drought, we're stepping up in a big way. We want to raise $500,000 as a team by 11/15/2022. We can do it, we should do it, and we believe that - with the help of our friends, neighbors, families, and networks - we will do it. 

WHAT ARE YOUR DOLLARS PROVIDING?

• $200 will fund a teacher’s salary for 1 month
• Your dollars are helping these kids get easier access to food, water, shelter and education…any amount is meaningful!
• Right now, there is an urgent need for funding due to increased food prices and a climate-induced drought in east Africa.

WHAT WILL YOU GET?

1.  Satisfaction of giving back to the community that you may not know how to reach out to

2. A note of gratitude from me

3. Donations above $25 will receive a free 20 minute tarot reading or a 15 minute Reiki Healing session with me. (professional Tarot Reader and a Reiki practitioner)

4. Donation above $50, will receive all of the above and a crystal of your choice from me.   

I kicked off this campaign with my personal donation of $500. No donation is too small. Any and all donations welcome.  

It is always fun to bring your passion to life while being able to fundraise for a great cause. I am selling crystal bracelets and rings with all sale proceeds going to the organizations. Message me on your favorite platform and I'll ship it to you at no cost.

More about the organizations

GRACE Nanana’s mission is to empower vulnerable members of the community through sensitization and education for meaningful participation in building a just and equitable society. The campus serves as a refuge for girls who come from many counties seeking an education instead of following the illegal but still practiced Maasai traditions of early marriage and female circumcision, or FGM. The girls arrive at the center without the support of their families and are completely reliant on GRACE Nanana to provide necessities such as clothing, food, and books, as well as tuition to support higher education

. 

Kajiado Child Care Centre, or KCC, is a pillar of hope in rural Kajiado County. Children with disabilities born to the strong and nomadic Maasai people are sometimes stigmatized and seen as a burden to their families, and KCC is working to change this by helping children reach their full potential through rehabilitation, accommodation, education, and empowerment. 

Ruben Centre serves over 3,200 of Nairobi’s most vulnerable children, offering them education, food, and programming to support them in their mission to liberate children through education and empowerment. Brighton Jones uniquely supports the Ruben Improved Scheme of Education (RISE) program by offering extracurricular activities such as orchestra, gymnastics, scout and daycare on days and times when the center is closed and children are most vulnerable to the realities of life in an urban settlement.

Welcome to the challenge, we're so glad you're part of #OneTeam for Kenya.
