Connecting With Kenya in Support of Free the Children
Connect with your community and empower a village in the Maasai Mara Region of Kenya
Connecting With Kenya is a Vancouver Island based project that supports Free The Children’s Adopt A Village program in Kenya. Funds raised through Connecting With Kenya will go towards building a school, providing a clean water system and supporting alternative income programs in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya through the Free The Children.
Community groups, businesses, and individuals like you who support Connecting with Kenya want to make a positive difference in their world. Together we believe in creating sustainable futures for communities and eradicating poverty for the first time in global history. Your support can make that dream come true.
The goal for this project is to raise $25,000 to adopt a village. It is also our hope to raise another $10,000 to support youth with travel costs to travel to Kenya to implement the project with Free the Children and Me to We.
If this project sounds like a fun and an exciting opportunity for you to start taking action in your global community than we would love to work with you.
You can volunteer in our fundraising efforts, start your own fundraising project or make a cash donation. We are looking forward to making people happy and empowering their futures for a better tomorrow. Your passion and support are our inspirations.
