My Nonprofit Reviews

Keen Harrison has worked diligently for 15 years serving the poor and forgotten in Africa. She makes several trips to Africa each year at her own expense, where she has established various projects to help those in need. I have been privileged to hear her reports once or twice each year when she meets with the Womans’s Group, to which I belong. Here she shares her recent experiences of presenting goats, chickens, solar lamps and craft materials to families. With the contributions of donors who support her work monetarily, she has set up programs to “grow a doc” and “ grow a nurse” to train men and women to address the health needs of their communities. I like donating to her organization because I know that 100% of my donation goes to the people in Africa. Keen takes no salary and all her helpers are volunteers including her husband John. I also like the fact that I can donate in the name of a friend or family member and Keen presents them with a beautiful handmade card announcing the gift in their name. It’s a nice added touch to raise awareness. Visit www.projectharambee.org to find out the many other ways Keen is giving a “hand up” as she calls it, rather than a “hand out”
