Main aim of the charity

Asanti Projects provides a long-term opportunity to make a difference in the life of a rural child who otherwise might not have the chance for a quality education.

How the employee got involved and why

Asanti Project provides a loving home to the orphaned children and primary care for future sustainability. Founded in 2004 by Phyllis Suter a Kenya native and a friend Deborah Lo Pumo a Swiss National who was visiting Kenya for the first time. We deliver immediate and lasting improvements to children’s lives for the next generation. Why do we intervene? Nearly each homestead in the villages has at least one or more orphans due to the high rate of HIV epidemic in the Western Kenya region. This is where we come in to advocate and empower the rural orphaned child for a better foundation in education for future sustainability. Today: We support approx. 60 children at the St. Michael Seka Home, Kendu-Bay in Homa Bay County, 56 children in boarding schools, local and international colleges.

What work does the employee do for charity

Lavyne Amollo Youth Representative I am proud to be a part of the life changing history. We provide a long-term opportunity for the most vulnerable children today, to help themselves for a sustainable future. Our impact is seen in communities that are breaking barriers of all kinds, achieving academic excellence, and realizing their own potential to fuel more change. My contribution is not much but I am confident that you will join us soon.
