We’ve always being very conscious of the reality that surrounds us every day, that is why looking the other way has never been an option for us. For this reason, since 2017 we’ve been supporting various educational projects in Kenya, the country where we live. Our approach to cooperation is based on supporting local initiatives where we can provide an uplift but never be an imposition.
In 2019, we became involved with Gladways School, which was back then a small primary school and rescue center for minors located in one of Nairobi’s slums. Over time, we decided to create Kitambo Na Wewe, a non-profit association dedicated to supporting education in vulnerable environments and involving you, so that together, we can achieve great accomplishments. Currently, we are rebuilding the school that had to close due to the pandemic and we are also sponsoring secondary and high education studies to some of the school graduates. Don’t miss out on everything we do on our Instagram profile.
We believe it is possible to help in a more respectful and less invasive way. Will you join us?
