Kipepeo foundation - giving children a future

Core Principles

Kipepeo Foundation is a small family charity supporting Africans in their initiatives to improve education and sports facilities for orphaned and disadvantaged children. We cooperate with the local community and sponsor only projects started locally by Africans. We believe that developing opportunities that the community considers valuable makes a bigger difference than financing our ideas, no matter how grand. None of our volunteers and partners receive financial compensation for their work.

We have been operating since 2008. Kipepeo is a Swahili word and means butterfly.

Children’s Right to Education

We believe that all children, regardless of social or financial status of their families, have the right to education. Therefore we focus on helping children without resources, we try to present them with education and meaningfully fill their free time.

Local community contribution

To ensure long-term sustainability of our projects and contribution from the local community, we sponsor only projects started with African initiative. We believe that developing opportunities valued by the community makes a bigger difference than financing our ideas, no matter how grand.

Projects - donors connection

We are emphasising direct personal connections and involvement in small projects.

Zero overheads

We all provide our services free of charge. Similarly, all our partners provide their services to us free of charge.
