The mission of Kenya Now Organization is to promote better nutrition, education and foundational opportunity for vulnerable children and widows of East Africa through the lens of the Christian gospel. We aim to connect people and resources from vast distances with an ultimate goal to improve the lives of the oppressed and forgotten.

POVERTY:

At its core, poverty is the feeling of powerlessness, shame, incompetence, and worthlessness. We don’t believe money or physical items alone can fix poverty. We believe that prioritizing one’s individual empowerment, mentorship, spiritual well-being, social development, education and economic opportunity is the start to eradicating the vicious cycle of generational poverty. 

SPONSORSHIP:

Research data shows that child sponsorship increases a child's chance of overall success, including positive community engagement, improved income, and more. Our sponsorship philosophy is that every young student involved in the program deserves an equal opportunity for a bright future. Therefore, each sponsorship/scholarship has multiple "shares" which allows you to decide your level of support, whether it be for one student or several. However you decide to allocate your support, know that your share commitment will make a positive impact on every young student in the program. You may notice that we often use terms such as "resident" in place of "orphan", "young student" in place of "child", and "scholarship" in place of "sponsorship". This is not a hard and fast rule, but it is our attempt to dismantle stigmas, stereotypes and a sense of Western dependence that can ultimately harm meaningful progress in the long term.

OUTREACH:

Kenya Now Organization (KNO) believes that local ministries are best at fixing local challenges within their own communities. Our partner community leaders have an in-depth understanding of their people's customs, social constructs and needs. Therefore, as outsiders, we assist from a distance in an attempt to avoid unintended harm. KNO arranges low profile annual visits with the sole purpose of building relationships and providing a space for our local leaders to reveal unique needs that KNO can assist with.
