Update #1 July 2024

We are making progress! The foundation and walls are complete and the trusses and roof will be going up soon. We are so grateful to make it to over 40% of our goal. We still need funding for windows, doors, flooring, plumbing and electricity. The Kinyuas and kids recently had to move out of their apartment due to flooding in the area and are extremely thankful to have such generous supporters help them with a stable, permanent home.

Moja Foundation works with vulnerable youth and families in Kenya. We formally began as an organization in 2015 and have grown to support orphans and impoverished children through community outreach, educational support, mentorship and a soccer club. However, we first began in response to Joseph Kinyua's calling to provide a family and home to children with nowhere else to go. Joseph himself grew up in an orphanage in Africa's largest informal setttlement in Nairobi, Kenya. He knows firsthand the pain and challenges of living as an orphan and wants to provide love and stability to those in a similar situation.

For years, Joseph, his family, and the children they support have lived in rented apartments with always increasing rent and problems. Joseph, his wife Dorris, their two daughters, and six orphaned children currently live in an apartment along with other children, family, and friends that come when they need a safe place to stay or study. Moja Foundation is raising funds to help them complete a permanent home of their own. Construction has already started. This will be a four bedroom home that can house 10 children in addition to Joseph and his family. $10,000 will fully complete and furnish the home. The home also has space for animals and a garden to improve their self sufficiency.

Most importantly, this is a family home, not an orphanage. ❤️

Even though you may be on the other side of the globe, we want our supporters to feel like they are a part of this life-changing project. We know you are donating from the heart and are not expecting anything in return, but we hope to make it fun and interactive for everyone involved. So, we will be including the following rewards for your generosity.

Donations of the following amounts will receive:

$100 - Personal video thank you from Kenya

$500 - A personal thank you video and inclusion on donor bricks or plaque

$1000 - All of the above and a personal song and dance and a handmade gift from Kenya

Everyone who donated will be able to get updates and a final tour on the GiveButter campaign page.
