Poverty Issues

Kenya, in East Africa, showcases stunning landscapes and wildlife. Despite progress, communities grapple with challenges such as limited access to education, healthcare, and clean water. Approximately 36% of the population faces poverty, underscoring the need for sustainable development and inclusive policies to uplift vulnerable communities.

How We Help

In Kenya, our partnerships with Shangilia Family Impact and PACE focus on breaking the cycle of poverty through education, holistic care, and leadership development. By supporting programs that address academic, emotional, and practical needs, we help children and youth thrive, paving the way for a brighter, more equitable future.

Holistic Education and Empowerment at Shangilia

Shangilia Family Impact goes beyond traditional education by fostering a culture of joyful living and equipping orphaned children with the tools needed for successful adulthood. By addressing both academic and life skills, Shangilia provides a comprehensive approach to empowerment, ensuring that young people can transition confidently into independent, meaningful lives.

PACE: Access, Care, and Leadership Development

PACE supports over 200 children by providing affordable education, healthcare, and essential nourishment, helping children from diverse socio-economic backgrounds thrive. Complementing this, the annual African Leadership Summit led by Pastor Wachira creates a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and innovative problem-solving, nurturing the next generation of leaders who are poised to create lasting positive change across Africa.

Elizabeth has since earned a degree in Health Systems Management and is now pursuing a master’s in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Beyond personal achievement, she aspires to use her knowledge to make a meaningful impact on a national and international scale, embodying a commitment to saving lives.
