My Nonprofit Reviews

It has been a great privilege working with Project Harambee as a board member. I have witnessed first hand the impact that Project Harambee continues to have in the lives of the most vulnerable women, youth and children In Kenya. Project Harambee works with impoverished communities to identify their strengths and the resources they have that would help them to pull together in order to drive the desired development. Project Harambee uses the hand up approach to achieve sustainable development as opposed to handouts. The Grow A Doc and Grow A Nurse are just but some of the life changing education programs that Project Harambee runs. More recently, Harambee has been in the frontline in response to the devastating effects of Covid-19 pandemic by providing some of the most essential supplies that are aimed at protecting the most vulnerable groups from the possibility of contracting or spreading the virus further in pursuit of basic needs.

Keep changing lives Project Harambee!

I have known Project Harambee since 2009 when it first sponsored three students from a secondary school for AIDS orphans living in Africa's largest slum, Kibera where I was working. Since then, I have been involved in identifying and interviewing potential candicates for Project Harambe Plant a Seed Grow-A-Doc and Grow-A-Nurse Scholarship Program. I am currently serving as a Board Member of Project Harambee and it is always heartwarming to hear great stories of change from the beneficiaries of this coveted scholarship. The scholarship always targets those with the greatest need and at the same time have a burning passion and committment to serve in medically underserved regions.

Project Harambee has been a great source of joy to many of our scholarship holders together with their families and most of them see this as an opportunity to get themselves out of poverty and also lift others who are downtrodden. I have also seen Project Harambee change the lives of women and children who are infected/affected with HIV/AIDS. I once visited two blind children who are supported by Project Harambee and it was breathtaking to hear them narrate how blessed they felt that a stranger came into their lives and is now making them to dare dream of a brighter future ahead of them even though they had lost hope in life.

Thanks to Project and Harambee and all those who support it in one way or the other.
