Going to Kenya with 100 Humanitarians International was a life changing trip. The dedication of 100 H in helping families become self-reliant is unmatched. What I love about their vision is the idea of helping the people of Kenya learn skills to better their lives while not trying to change their cultural beliefs or values and not coming in to "save the day" with a handout. Teaching families how to vertically garden in order to have more food stability, providing better and cleaner water sources, educating youth about menstruation and providing reusable products is all part of what 100 Humanitarians has done. 100 H has changed lives by teaching skills that can be passed from person to person and generation to generation. They are making a difference and it shows. If I could take everyone I know on a trip to Kenya with 100 Humanitarians, I would. What an amazing nonprofit that is changing lives!
They are committed to the work they are doing in Kenya. I saw first hand the fruits of their labor. Their philosophy to help the Kenya people to help themselves is about long term sustainability. I
am highly recommending my friends and colleagues to get involved with 100
Humanitarians.
I went with 100 Humanitarians to Kenya this last June. What is being done there through this organization is incredible. Families are able to thrive due to sustainable food resources, education in how to garden and being provided easier access to water. This trip was a life changing experience and I will absolutely be going back in the future. There is a true love that has been built between Kenya and all that volunteer through 100H.
Awesome group with amazing in-country leadership. We left knowing that our efforts and funds were in good hands and would help more people than we could ever do on our own. Their goal of teaching one so that they can teach others is having exponential results.
What 100 Humanitarians international is doing in Kenya is truly remarkable! Creating an economical community where there has not been one is no small feat! Educating the families of the Maasai to garden and sew and work together in a new age is an amazing undertaking! I’ve met the lead of their team In Kenya and when in his presence hearing him speak of the changes that have occurred touches my heart at the deepest levels. Heidi Totten has amazingly created a nonprofit organization that teaches these tribes to be self reliant and that there are people who care about what happens in their lives! I cannot wait to join the team in Kenya March 2020! To be a part of something this important is a lifelong dream!!
I have had the privilege of going to Kenya twice with 100 Humanitarians. I love that 100 Humanitarians is going deep and really making an impact in the communities they serve. To go back and be welcomed “home” by these people who accept you as their own. Serving along side them building GardenSaCs, training centers, teaching sewing and thermal cooking skills. Amazing.
I have been extremely blessed to have 100 Humanitarians introduced to me. I went on the March 2019 trip and was blown away at the service opportunities 100 H is providing to the good people of Kenya. I will continue to seek to participate and support 100 H in any way I can and look forward to the opportunity to return to Kenya and serve my friends and family again.
I've been to Kenya twice now and I can't wait to go back later this year! From teaching skills to building garden towers and training centers together to make and impact, 100 Humanitarians has it right. I have been changed for the better from my experiences. Kenya has my heart, the people are amazing and welcoming. I've learned so much from them.
If you have the chance, come be part of this wonderful organization.
My daughters and I just returned from our expedition with 100 Humanitarians a week ago and will be forever changed from the experience. We're already talking about when we can go back!
What I love about this organization is that they truly create self reliance within the communities they work with. It really is about giving them a "hand up" rather than just a hand out. I can't wait to see the continued progress in upcoming expeditions.
I also can't say enough how much we appreciated their team IN Kenya. Christine, Anita, Moses, David, John, and David...all of whom made the experience even much more special as they shared personal stories, taught us about their culture and saw to our safety and comfort. ❤
I took my family to work with this incredible organization just a couple weeks ago. Their connection with the community, their ability to have everyone actively participate, the culture.... everything was incredible. I worked hard, saw incredible sights, cried and built new friendships. My daughter's (ages 8 and almost 10) were inspired and loved the experience as much as I did. We plan on volunteering next year as well.
I was told that I would go to Kenya to serve the people there but would soon discover that Kenya would serve me and my 13 year old son.
That was exactly what happened. I laughed, cried, and loved the Kenyan people. We helped them to build garden boxes, build fences and assisted them in creating sustainable resources that would help them year after year.
I love the fact that this organization doesn't simply give a hand out but gives a hand up instead. Helping the Kenyan people feel empowered to help themselves fosters a sense of independence and success- which is what the people want.
These beautiful people love with their whole heart. They want to improve their situations and allow future generations a better life.
I went to Kenya with 100 Humanitarians just a few weeks ago and took my 11 year old daughter. Not only did it give her confidence I have not seen in her in years, but she made lifelong friends and saw what it was really like to serve and make an impact. It will be the first of many trips for me becuase of the impact these beautiful people have had on me and the impact and relationship I want to continue to have with them. There is such much good that this organization is doing. On our trip we did projects in Bomet painting a learning center and planting trees along side the local people. We visited a Girls Rescue Center, and taught them how to make their own underwear from used tshirts. We went to a school and taught and gave out Days for Girls kits and played with the children. We went to the Maasai village and spent time learning from their culture and building relationships and playing with the children. We built a fence for Mama Helen and saw how beautifully she improved on the gardens she was given weeks before. We built several tower gardens, planted more trees, and threw seed balls to establish more families, schools, and organizations.
You go to Kenya to serve, and you leave Kenya with pieces of your heart left behind and a new outlook on life and the things that really matter. I can't wait to go again!
My husband and I went to Kenya with 100 Humanitarians this year and we are amazed at the way they served the people of Bomet and the Masai Mara. We not only built garden boxes but taught the people how to do so to become self sufficient. We also took part in building a training/mentoring center next to the sewing center. We set up a water project on the Mara. We taught and mentored the young men and young women students in a secondary school and at a girls shelter leaving many “Days for Girls” kits so the young girls can stay in school during their time of the month and continue their education. Definitely a worthy cause. All proceeds we donated went to the people we served and projects we worked on. I would totally go again! A life changing experience!
Truly Amazing!!
I was so very blessed to have the opportunity to go to Kenya with them earlier this year and was truly humbled not only by Heidi and the entire organization but by the amazing people in Kenya!! Thank you David and Moses and the group I was able to serve with!! All those involved and the volunteers for each expedition are amazing and bring life changing experiences to all involved.
I have some health issues and was worried about slowing them down and didn’t want to be a burden but was told that I was not to worry about it and that they would love to have me on their team. Although, I am sure that they served me more than I served them I am grateful for the opportunity I was given to go, serve and bless those around me! Thank you all for the amazing opportunity and yes.... can’t wait to go again!
I love serving as a volunteer and would love to serve on their board someday as they are truly making a difference in the world.
100 humanitarians does amazing work! I have been fortunate enough to go to Kenya twice and help with sustainable projects. I absolutely love this organization!
I’ve been to Kenya twice with 100 Humanitarians! Everything from the people to the projects is truly a life changing experience.
Our 16 year old daughter went to Kenya with Heidi and 100 humanitarians. She still talks about it and the life changing impact is it had on her. We love the mission and the passion with 100 humanitarian. We will be sending her again!
I have been to Kenya twice with 100 Humanitarians. This last trip I took my 11 year old daughter with me. I will never be able to properly explain how being involved in these projects have help my life and the life of my family. I can only hope that what I have contributed has helped an ounce of what I have received. My heart will never be there same. I have also made life long friends and connections...which in my opinion is the most important part of Humanitarian work...the people!!!
I've fallen in love with the work we do in Kenya. On both trips of which I've been a part, I've witnessed the pure love of spirit touching spirit. When we donated a cow to one lady, the entire village came out to greet us with a song of thanks that we could hear a quarter mile away. You can't imagine what an incredibly life-altering experience that is! On the other trip, we built fences for garden areas to keep out livestock (think chickens and goats) and let the plants thrive. And thrive they did!
Oh yes ... and safari. Never a bad thing. :)
Please, won't you join us?
Been to Kenya 3 times with this organization, and it had been the best decision I've ever made. And I'm only 19.
Taking my two boys to Kenya was one of the best things I've ever done. When the thought first popped in my mind, I brushed it aside, thinking there was no way. We had too much going on, we couldn't afford it, it would be better to wait. However, for some reason I kept feeling this pull and I finally decided I knew I had to do it. I didn't know why or how, but I knew I had to. I followed my intuition and the universe took care of the rest.
There are no words to describe and do it justice. The land, the people, the service, the gratitude, and the love is greater than anything I've ever experienced. It opens your heart, healing you and all those around you. The only way to change our lives, is to change our heart. My boys were able to experience this early enough in their lives that they will forever be changed because of it. In a lot of ways we were stagnant before we left, but we all came home ready to accomplish whatever the universe brings our way. I don't know when or how, but I know I will be going back to Kenya again.
I get asked the question often, "Why Kenya?"
This is why.
With a poverty escape rate of 0.5 people per minute, the drive to achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is at risk.
UN’s SDGs aim at reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2030.
The goal of 100 Humanitarians International is economic development in families. The four areas of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals we address are pictured below.
1. Business Boxes for Families to train economic development; School fees for 25 children
2. Garden Boxes, cows, goats, chickens
3. Trees and gardens; Thermal Cookers (provided by @HopeSac) to reduce need for fuel sources
4. Water storage tanks and water filters (provided by The Waterbearers); Days for Girls reusable feminine hygiene kits (provided by the Zariel and Bomet Enterprises.)
