Child Sponsorship
We’ve kicked off our Child Sponsorship campaign. Find out how you can support our students below.
Our Mission
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide communities with five core resources that meet the needs of basic survival and self-fulfillment – clean water, sustainable food sources, health & sanitation, education, safety & security.
Clean Water
Food
Work alongside local farmers and international agriculturalists to help communities raise and sell produce or livestock; provide meals to children suffering from hunger, and identify and address sustainable food challenges in communities.
Health
Construct facilities with adequate space to prevent the spread of disease, ensure health and hygienic needs of children are met, subsidize the cost of important medical resources, and partner with organizations to educate communities to improve their health.
Education
Safety
Ensure the security of our projects and school environments through training and access to necessary materials that promote safety for the youth.
Our Current Project
Awasi, Kenya
In Kenya there are 3.6 million orphaned or vulnerable children. More than 1.2 million primary-school-aged children do not attend school. Many public schools are primitive rooms with dirt floors and no walls; books are rare and teachers don’t receive the necessary training they need. Government schools are supposed to be free-access to everyone, but when poor students can’t afford shoes or a uniform, schools close their doors to them. We are going to make education work for the children in Awasi, Kenya. Imagine a school where every child is welcome, regardless of finances. Imagine a school where children who never had the chance to step foot inside a classroom, will outperform their peers across the region. This school will provide education to orphaned and impoverished children in the area. Children will learn to become leaders who will do things in their community and country that we could never.
What’s New

Upcoming Events

We aim to open our school in 2025, help us enroll our first students by committing to be a Child Sponsor! You will receive your child’s information once he/she is enrolled and will be given opportunities to communicate with your child, receive progress reports throughout the year, and walk alongside your child as he/she grows. Sponsor a child here.
October we will host 4 LINC Up Days. These are casual meet ups with other LINC supporters and volunteers in your area to build community and THRIVE. LINC Up Days will be hosted around the country, one month each quarter. Check out details here.
