Empower a family forever. Sign up today!
When families thrive, children thrive. Thank you for standing with a family as they build a brighter future.
Support a family
Every child deserves a safe, stable family and the chance to go to school.
Stand with a family in Kenya as they build a secure, self-sufficient future for their children.
Why it matters
Every child needs a safe, stable family to grow, learn and thrive. But when families are struggling to put food on the table, children are often the first to leave school, sent to work or married young.
Our Family Strengthening Project works alongside families over three years. It helps parents build the skills, knowledge and income to support themselves long term, so families can stay together and their children can stay in school.
The project is run by our team on the ground in Kenya, including social workers who know these families and communities well.
Where your support will go: Baringo, Kenya
Raising a family in Baringo is full of challenges, from a harsh climate and limited infrastructure to few ways to earn a steady income.
Every day, families struggle without safe drinking water, enough food or secure shelter, and with little access to health care or support services such as counselling.
When parents can't provide for their children, many children leave school to work, and girls face a higher risk of early marriage.
Your support gives parents the skills and tools to provide for their children long term, so children can stay in school.
How your support will help
Children's education costs
Parenting and life skills training
Gender equality and children's rights training
Business skills training and income support
Emergency food parcels
Vital house repairs
Family health and wellbeing support
How it works?
For a monthly donation, you'll help families in Baringo build a stronger, more secure future, so their children can stay in school.
Your support is pooled with gifts from other supporters, so our team can work with every family in the program and give each one what it needs most.
When you sign up, you'll receive something special in the mail from the team who run our Family Strengthening Project.
What you'll receive in return
Updates from our team twice a year
Twice a year, our team will write to you about how your support is helping families become stronger, more resilient and self-sufficient.
