Why Blair in Kenya
Here are a few reasons:
1. 100% of your money goes to supporting our goal of improving the lives of Kenya’s rural poor through educational, medical, and economic opportunity. Both the Americans and the Kenyans are volunteers, and therefore we put your entire donation to work to improve the lives of these children.
2. Blair in Kenya only works in two communities and all of our money goes to people we know and trust. Our work is a partnership with these communities; they donate their time and money as well to support our work. We are side by side with the leaders of these communities in finding ways to improve the lives of these children.
3. Your donation is tax-deductible.
4. We have a proven track record of great results -- the proof is on the ground. We now educate over 1,200 students in a vibrant and positive learning environment.
Our model and the future
Both our Kenyan and our American team volunteer for this project which has allowed us to hold true to our 100% model whereby the entire amount of any donation goes towards supporting these children. Additionally, all of our volunteers who travel to Kenya pay their own way to maximize the impact of your donation.
In truth, the only way these projects work is because of the trust that exists between our Kenyan and American partners. We aren’t working with strangers, but with friends, and this cooperation has allowed us to streamline our operations to focus on providing opportunity.
While we have made significant progress over the past decade, there is still much to be done.
