???? Today is International Day of the Girl Child! ???? But let’s remember, every day is a day to uplift, empower, and support girls around the world. This video is an example of the lifesaving work Maisha is providing to vulnerable girls in Kenya thanks only to people like YOU saying "YES" to helping a child. A few years ago we rescued Phoebe and Sharon (a set of orphan sisters) from a horrible situation and brought them to live and study at the Maisha Academy. It’s unbearable to imagine where they’d be today if we were not able to rescue them. Every day we have the power to TRANSFORM girl’s lives and futures FOREVER if we join together! ?? Sponsorship provides an impoverished girl with the tools, guidance, love, and support she needs to thrive… ?? Food ?? Education ?? Essentials ?? Encouragement ?? Tangible proof that they matter ?? Resilience to withstand any crisis ?? Increased hope, happiness, and confidence ?? Combined, these are the cornerstones to transforming their futures!! ?? Change a girl’s life for ONLY $1.16/day!! ???? https://lnkd.in/eBgWCUb #DayOfTheGirl #EmpowerGirls #GirlsCan #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild #ChildSponsorship #MaishaProject #educationforall #BeTheHope #bethechange

Breaking generational poverty starts with our children. Maisha resources the solutions in the communities we serve.
关于我们
It started with a girl who received a sponsorship for education at the age of 9 in a small village in Kenya. That girl went on to do great things. She is Maisha Founder, Beatrice Williamson and her desire is to give others that same opportunity for education and a "hand up." Maisha Project is an international organization working on local levels in Kenya to empower people to transform their community. Every day children face the risk of disease, malnutrition and hopelessness. In the Nyanza Province of Kenya where Maisha is located, the silent epidemic of HIV/AIDS has stolen the lives of mothers, fathers and children; leaving one out of every three households headed by a child. According to Kenya's Department of Health, one out of every four adults in the Kisumu district is HIV positive. Breaking generational poverty starts with our children.The mission of Maisha is to transform lives and empower communities by providing lasting solutions to address poverty, hunger, disease and under-education. We accomplish that through projects such as Legacy of Hope education sponsorships, school feeding, empowerment/micro-finance, HIV/AIDS care/education and much more. Maisha ignites the passion in all of us to DO SOMETHING! As you engage with "The Maisha Story", you begin to realize the potential in yourself to rise above to create a brighter future, just as Beatrice did. We invite you to become part of the Maisha Story today! We invite you to have the same opportunity to put your passion into action and transform lives by becoming a part of the Maisha Story.

#MondayMotivation — Our Maisha kids inspire us every day to keep on fighting even through life’s many challenges. ?? ?? Meet Stephanie Gift Akinyi. Her name perfectly fits what her #MaishaTransformation story is to us all — a GIFT — of hope and inspiration. She recently achieved a huge milestone in her life — graduating from Meru University of Science & Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Economics degree. Stephanie joined the #MaishaProject while still in primary school and was mentored, sponsored, and nurtured by our team and her sponsors all through her growing up years. Because of this support, she was able to achieve what was once impossible for a child in her circumstances. CONGRATS, Stephanie!! We are SO proud of you. ???????? “Graduating feels astonishing and deeply rewarding for all the hard work, persistence, and support of those around me. I'm very proud of this achievement and excited for what lies ahead. I am grateful to Maisha for having walked with me and being part of making this journey possible.” (-Stephanie) #MaishaMeansLife

?? Food is essential for life. But today, a basic food basket is entirely out of reach for many living in the most vulnerable contexts — particularly in regions of Kenya where we serve — like Kisumu and Turkana. This is why our #shipthecontainer, #schoolfeeding and #ChildSponsorship programs are so URGENTLY needed in these challenging times. When families have help offsetting the enormous costs of feeding and educating their children, there are MANY lifesaving benefits: ?? Helps fight malnutrition ?? Keeps children in school ?? Helps prevent child labor ?? Keeps girls safer from early marriage ?? Allows families to better afford other essentials, like rent, water, clothing, etc. #ChildHunger #Hunger #untilallarefed #GlobalHungerCrisis #HungerCrisis #feedingkids #MaishaProject #foodislife
