What we do.
Jirani Project children in school

The Third Annual Fundraiser and Silent Auction to benefit the work of The Jirani Project was held Wednesday, April 28th, at Ticoz Resto-Bar in Phoenix. The event, again hosted by Jirani's good friend and supporter, AZ State Representative, Kyrsten Sinema, was a wonderful success. Generous donations and silent auction proceeds raised funds of over $5,000.00, as well as badly needed school supplies...all to benefit our Jirani children in Kenya!   Asante Sana!

We work to ensure that all sponsored children receive the education and skills training they need to be successful and contributing  members of Kenyan society.  Our hope would be that these children, once freed from the cycle of poverty and unemployment, will help to create a more sustainable Kenya, and one day assist other children from similar circumstances in the process.
