OUR VISION

A world without poverty where all people are equipped to lead the kinds of lives they want and value.

OUR PARTNERSHIP

We are two organizations, on two sides of the world, pursuing one mission.

We assist vulnerable families rising out of poverty by offering financial, technical, and other support to our partner organization, United Kenya Rising (UKR) in Kakamega, Kenya.

UKR’s staff, leadership, and board members are all Kenyan. The Family Care program that they run is locally-developed and locally-led.

OUR IMPACT

We mean it when we say that our impact goes deep. 

We know this because of a comprehensive Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) process. 

Have a look at our numbers to see how Family Care transforms nearly every aspect of families' daily lives.

Our Program:
FAMILY CARE

The 3-year Family Care program aims to assist the very neediest families from ultra-poor communities. Its bold goal is transformation: a permanent end to multigenerational poverty.

REACHING FAMILIES
IN THEIR
MOMENT OF NEED

We serve the most vulnerable families in already-poor communities.

Finding them is an extensive process that requires deep involvement of community members and UKR staff. ​​

The families we work with are surviving in $1 or $2 per day poverty. They also face health crises, or live with disabilities, or are grieving the loss of a loved one they had always depended on.

We try to show change and joy in our materials, but the families we work with are coming from a place of struggle and pain.

Every morning when I wake up and look around, I feel like I’m still dreaming.
