My Nonprofit Reviews

The Kilgoris Project (TKP) is an amazing non-profit organization that provides education, healthcare and opportunity to a small, rural area in southwestern Kenya. This endeavor began with a friendship between the founders and a member of the community meeting in Kenya. As the friendships have deepened and multiplied, so have the schools. This Massai community has a deep desire to educate their children, but the schools are often too far for children to travel. I began to be interested in TKP several years ago. In February, I had the opportunity to travel to Kilgoris and meet the people and see the schools. What an amazing experience! The people of Kilgoris are very dedicated to educating their children. I was able to visit an area that does not have a school building, but this doesn't stop them! As a community, they hire a teacher, build benches and hold school under the shade of trees. However, when it rains, school is canceled. TKP is working with this community to build a school for them. TKP has built several schools in this widespread, rural community. I enjoyed the contrast of seeing children learning under trees and in buildings. (See the photos below) But what was the same was the eagerness of the children to learn! TKP has also provided clean drinking water, lunch and healthcare to enhance the lives of these children. Jobs are also provided to Kenyans, by building the schools, maintaining the schools, teachers, cooks, a physician, and more. It's about education, but so much more. The richness of the friendships, the dedication of the TKP staff, and the smiles of the children was proof that TKP is providing a lasting, sustainable improvement in the lives of the Massai in the Kilgoris area. I count myself fortunate to be witness to love in action and am excited to continue to support TKP!
