- "Kenya Beyond 2000 is dedicated to sustain any emergency, self-help, and educational needs the Kenyan
people may encounter. Mission is to interrupt the cycle of dependency on foreign aid by
strengthening our nation's society from the inside out."
Kenya Shoe Expedition
- "The Kenya Shoe Expedition began when a college freshman first saw a group of young runners training in southern
Africa - without shoes. Adam Reiser, the young Rice University track star, realized that the used running shoes that most American
runners simply throw in their closets after a few hundred miles of use could be put to some real good on the feet of these hard
working young athletes who couldn’t find or afford shoes to train in. He started collecting shoes: first from his university track team,
then from the local running community. The rest is history: the Kenya Shoe Expedition, launched in the fall of 1996, now collects
shoes from thousands of high school & college track teams, running clubs, marathon expos, fun runs, and every other organized
body of runners in existence throughout America."
Reach the Children - Ngomongo project
- "Nairobi, Kenya is a large city in a resource-rich country that is suffering from effects of political
problems. Ngomongo is a slum outside of Nairobi and borders on a rural agricultural area. There
are underprivileged children who are left to wander the Ngomongo slum all day while their mothers
eke out a living trying to put food on the table" Reach the Children is building a school (Help the Children
Academy) that will teach throughout the day and provide nourishing meals. In the
evenings, the Women's Training Center provides vocational training and adult literacy programs. Visit Reach
the children's web site to find out how you can contribute.
The Makindu Children's Center

Kenya that will provide basic needs, education and training for more than 200 homeless
children, ranging in age from 1 to 16 years. Makindu, a small village located on the arid
plains of southern Kenya, is half way between Nairobi and Mombasa. Makindu families live
in one room mud huts with thatched roofs. A contaminated well, an hour's walk away,
provides the only available water. The hospital in the area is served by one doctor with
few supplies and no running water or electricity. No aid organizations currently serve this
area."
