Through Heart2Heart USA, children who would have had little to no chance of an education are given the opportunity to develop their potential and a sense of confidence, capability, and self determination.
For girls, this is especially important and a primary means of avoiding early marriage.
What we've accomplished so far...Education Sponsorship Woks!
Heart2Heart USA has been serving children in Kenya for 20 successful years and has built strong relationships with community leaders, students, and their guardians through site visits.
Over 130 children, who have lost one or both parent to HIV/AIDS, have been educated through our program.
Heart2Heart USA has also helped the students' immediate community. An 80-meter well was dug to provide clean water for students and their surrounding village. In July of 2007, our Agriculture Committee provided an irrigation system that provides water for over two acres of land a day. This system makes it not only possible to grow high quality vegetables for meals, but there is some left over to sell as a sustainable endeavor.
