Believe with us.
Welcome to Kenya Connection!
Who are we?
Kenya Connection is a tightly-knit group of motivated students who work to support an NGO known as Flying Kites, a US-based charitable foundation committed to providing a world-class education to children in rural Kenya who otherwise would not be able to afford it.
Our vision Is to provide equitable access to quality education for children in rural Kenya. Our mission is to serve as advocates for the transformational impact of education on vulnerable communities by supporting the work of Flying Kites Teacher Training Center & Academy, a model primary school and hub for teacher training in rural Njabini, Kenya.
Who do we support?
100% of Kenya Connection profits work to support Flying Kites, a US-based, 501(c)(3) charitable organization that operates a primary school in the foothills of the Aberdare Mountain Range in Central Kenya. Flying Kites believes that providing students with access to Âquality education and holistic support is vital to alleviating suffering, increasing gender equality, and promoting economic sustainability.
