Review for Makena Childrens Foundation Inc, Medford, OR, USA
The Makena Children's Foundation is a true labor of love. In its sixteen year history of educating deserving Kenyan students, no American working for the Foundation has ever taken a salary or stipend. All are volunteers. Overhead is very low because we all work from our homes, so there is no office rent.
It is a cross-cultural partnership with the advice and input from Kenyans having equal value as that from Americans. The small, personal nature of this Foundation is why the "Makena kids," the students, are flourishing. Annually, we meet individually with each student, their school personnel and their parent or guardian. Physical, psychological and academic needs are openly discussed and addressed. We support the students through elementary, secondary and university education.
