Where the money goes
🍲 School lunches
A hot, nutritious lunch every school day for children at Kagira and Ruthimitu primary schools — because no child can learn hungry.
📚 School fees & supplies
Direct payment of fees and tuition, plus uniforms, shoes and stationery, customized to each child’s needs.
🌱 Trees & diet gardens
Seedlings, garden tools and training that green our schools and put food on lunch plates.
🎓 Mentorship
Holiday workshops in leadership, entrepreneurship and soft skills that turn pupils into young leaders.
Build Lives CBO is a registered community-based organization in Kenya. Since 2019 we have helped channel over $150,000 through our programmes — and as a community organization run largely by volunteers, your gift goes to the children, not to overheads. Questions about our finances? Ask us anything.
Other ways to give
In-kind donations — books, stationery, uniforms, seedlings, food — are always welcome, as are fundraisers run by friends of Build Lives. See all the ways to get involved.
