A school for every kid

We gave $15,000 toward building a school for children with special needs: a safe, welcoming place for kids who need specialized teaching and care, so that every child gets the chance to learn.

Three water wells

$9,000 opened three water wells in rural villages, including the Can Polat Water Well at a primary school in Malindi, opened in August 2024. Families now have safe water close to home.

Solar kits and gifts

We carried $1,500 of solar panel kits and household gifts to families in the villages. The kits replace kerosene lamps with clean, reliable light.
