our work
Community-led programs
in Kiteta, Kenya
Every project on this page exists because the Kiteta community asked for it, planned it and built it with us. We focus on three things: education, economic development, and community wellness.
Focus Areas
Education
From primary school through secondary scholarships and vocational certification, learning is the through line of everything we do.
Economic Development
Trade skills, local jobs and locally made goods that keep resources circulating in the community.
Community Wellness
Menstrual health and hygiene support that keeps girls in school and serves women across the community.
What we do
Four programs, one model: the community identifies the need, and we bring the resources to meet it.
Education
Community Wellness
Kiteta Primary School Support
A 25-year partnership with one school: a library, safe classrooms, electricity, water, books and uniforms.
Education
Stephen Mbuvi Scholarship Fund
The Stephen Mbuvi Scholarship Fund sends Kiteta’s top-performing students to the national secondary schools they earn.
Economic Development
Ndithini Vocational School
A community-built trade school where young people train and certify in tailoring, welding, carpentry and more.
Education
Local Leadership Support
Professional development for the teachers and community leaders who carry the work every day.
The community’s list is not finished.
Completing the remodel of Kiteta Primary School, a computer lab, a feeding program, WiFi, portable study lights for home, new books as the curriculum grows, and more scholarships every year.
The model is bigger than one village. What works in Kiteta is built to be repeated in rural communities across Kenya.
