Mission Statement

Our mission is to help young, orphaned Kenyan women gain the tools and skills they need to transition into the adult world from life in an orphanage.

Our organization will support them by providing personal finance lessons, facilitate small-business programming and assistance, and pay the costs of their college education while the young women live at the Karama House in Nairobi and are a part of the program.

-The young Kenyan women that will be apart of Karama House have just graduated this month and are back at the Shelter waiting for their final grades. Their grades will be released in February and once they get them back they can start applying for admission to colleges. They are doing well and are very excited to get their grades back. Hopefully we can raise enough funds to get out there before they start school so they wont have to start late.
