The money we raise goes directly to the work in Kenya, supporting women who, despite their own poverty and the challenges of raising children, have taken in orphaned and vulnerable children.
Your donations help the women start small businesses to support their families, improve family health and nutrition practices, pay for school fees so children can stay in school, and more. Read about The Work in Kenya and Village of Love Canada. Thank you for your support!
