Sophia Akash Foundation

The Sophia Akash Foundation's (SAF) mission is to facilitate sustainable paths out of poverty for the world's poor. We recognise that for those living in poverty, the essential services that enable them to build sustainable livelihoods are unaffordable. Our mission is to change that. We help build strong, sustainable Social Enterprises, using innovative solutions to meet the basic needs of poor and unserved communities. With access to affordable basic services such as financial inclusion, primary healthcare, education and others, households can break the cycle of poverty.

Faraja Cancer Support Trust

Faraja Cancer Support Trust (Faraja) was founded in 2010. It's mission is to provide emotional, practical and physical support to anyone affected by cancer in Kenya. We also have a remit to raise cancer awareness throughout the country, where cancer is still seen as a death sentence. Since it's inception Faraja has provided a safe haven and given hope to thousands of adults and children who are living with cancer. We are growing rapidly, but are just scratching the surface in terms of the need. With only 8 oncologists in the entire country and 3 treatment hospitals (in a country of 42 million) there are huge barriers at every level to people surviving the disease. We achieve our mission in many different ways; including counselling, complementary therapies, support groups, and a host of activities including yoga, dancing and mediation. We also run art therapy classes in the children's oncology ward, provide financial assistance to people who simply can't afford life-saving treatment and organise awareness raising events. The mission and work of Faraja Cancer Support Trust is unique and ground breaking in Kenya.

RILEY ORTON FOUNDATION

To improve the quality of life of children, young people and women living in the slum through the provision of quality education, affordable housing, health care and socio economic empowerment Akili Girls Preparatory School strives to provide underprivileged girls in Kisumu County with affordable quality education that will help them to break the cycle of poverty. The project goal is to generate sufficient income through focussing on horticulture, poultry, dairy cows, and renewable energy systems so as to meet educational, nutritional and medical support needs of the girls we support. This project aims to support at least 200 orphans and vulnerable girls between 3 and 14 years by the year 2020. The primary target group are girls from the lowest income populations, particularly those who are affected by the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Obunga slum and Obambo village in Kisumu County. We will enroll 5 fee paying students in every class to enable parents who are able to pay fees to participate in the education of needy girls. The strategy we have adopted to provide quality education to these girls is through the establishment of a boarding school known as Akili Girls Preparatory School which will provide holistic education that addresses both the physical and emotional needs of the girls while creating dignity through self-reliance
