Who we are

No paid offices. Just volunteers and results.

Different from many non-profit organizations, there are no offices of paid employees in the USA. All board members are volunteers, contributing their time, expertise, resources and ideas to best help with projects in the Koins service area.

The USA team works closely with companies, families, charitable organizations and individuals to fund projects and initiatives in Kenya.

Causes we work for

Education is the way out of poverty.

Schools

Classrooms once made of sticks and mud now have floors, roofs, desks and supplies. Within a decade, 7 of the top 10 schools in the county were Koins-sponsored.

Trade skills

Our schools are built by locals, who dig the foundations, make the cement blocks and cut the lumber, gaining skills along the way.

Scholarships

Education is free through grade 8. Scholarships send top students to secondary school and university, regardless of their family’s situation.

Koins has also built dams, hospitals, water cisterns and agricultural programs.

“Originally our 120 students were learning under trees with no desks. Koins for Kenya came to Boyani and built five classrooms full of desks. From that point Boyani began to change. Now we have 400+ students.”
