Specifically, the foundation works with orphan children who live in Kibera Slum in Nairobi, Kenya. The foundation raises money to help provide basic food, medicine and school supplies for the students of Spurgeons Academy located in Kibera Slum, Nairobi. We have also partnered with another organization to sponsor 8th grade graduates of Spurgeons Academy for high school and college.
To achieve our mission, we utilize fundraising events and direct donations.
We host a Family Fun Day fundraiser annually at a fun venue for kids. We also participate in community events and partner with local businesses to raise visibility of the needs of our students and to generate financial support. For example, in 2013 a local dance studio hosted a very large dance performance and all proceeds were donated to the foundation.
