Starting in 2006, we were feeding 60 kids daily. Now, 15 years later, we feed 1,500+ kids every day and have 1,065 active in Legacy of Hope, our educational system, 875 mission participants, and 350 students enrolled in Maisha Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maisha means \u201c<strong>life<\/strong>\u201d and is founded on 5 pillars to create a better \u201cmaisha\u201d for these children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Education<\/strong><br>This molds the minds of tomorrow\u2019s leaders to transform their communities and<br>nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Health<\/strong><br>We help provide access to clean water, healthcare, improved nutrition, and spiritual nourishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Empowerment<\/strong><br>We want to empower the people of Kenya to earn a living and bring self-worth, and encourage them to step into their role in advancing the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Missions<\/strong><br>Our partners bring tools and resources to facilitate lasting solutions for each of these branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Infrastructure<\/strong><br>We want to create a safe environment for our people to thrive and take steps toward transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what if we stepped up and did something to help make a change?

Born into poverty, these children live without access to education, medical care, adequate housing, clothing, appropriate food, or a chance out of this cycle and into a better future. While we\u2019re at home with our families and friends celebrating this time of year, these children are living in that harsh reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maisha gives the gift of <strong>life<\/strong>! Not only do donations go toward immediate help with food, clothing, and shelter, but we also help in areas with long-term effects like education and healthcare. Charitable donations are not the kind of gift that will end up dusty on a shelf or shoved in a closet somewhere. In such contrast, they make a lasting impact on the lives of those in need and on those that give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So share the love to the  <strong>Maisha<\/strong> community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share the love and help us <strong>empower people<\/strong> and <strong>transform communities<\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About The Maisha ProjectMaisha Project\u2019s mission is to empower people and transform communities to become hopeful, independent, and thriving.
