Education
Tumaini International offers education opportunities for our sponsored children through high school and beyond. Any child sponsored through Tumaini International will remain in the program until completion of high school or Vocational training.
We invest in quality education not only by sponsoring hundreds of children, but by Building our own signature high schools. Our goal is to make these boarding high schools centers of academic excellence to give hope to our sponsored kids and those in the surrounding communities across Kenya.

For only $38 a month, you ensure a child can live with their extended family or caring neighbors and receive:
- medical care

Give TodaySocio-Economic Development
In a country with unemployment as high as 40%, Tumaini is committed to providing hope for every individual, giving them the tools necessary for their success.
We strive to reduce extreme poverty through socio-economic programs designed to provide job training and sustainable development to unemployed youth and women. We use Community Based Organization (CBO) models which offer new economic alternatives for people facing extreme poverty.
Instead of giving the poor fleeting handouts, Tumaini empowers the communities and existing organizations to get out of poverty by providing the skills, small grants, and means necessary for their success.
- President/CEO Stanley Mutunga
Our basic approach is Assets Based Community Development (ABCD).
Tumaini will only partner with groups or communities that already work together and have identified a viable way to address their economic needs.
We ask the question, “What works here, and how can we best work with you to realize your goals?”
We come in as Partners, and Empower the recipients to effectively address their own needs.
