Mission Statement

We see a world where all people are empowered through education to enrich their lives and reach their fullest potential. To achieve that vision, we partner with underserved communities world wide to create educational opportunities through locally run learning centers.

Description

Kiwimbi focuses on communities with weak educational infrastructure. We began our work in the western Kenyan town of Amagoro in Busia County. Our goals of improved educational achievement, vocational readiness and enhanced cultural awareness are addressed through programs provided at our Community Center and Library and other knowledge resources.

Kiwimbi’s work is accomplished through the joint efforts of two organizations: Kiwimbi International (KI), a U.S. non-profit 501(c)(3) and the all-Kenyan Kiwimbi Kenya (KK), an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization). U.S.-based KI raises funds and provides professional support to Kenyan staff. KK has all operational and management responsibilities including identifying and hiring staff and teaching assistants, procuring and preparing lunches, managing the Community Center and Library, and creating supplemental programs for both schools and the community.
