Umoja Partnership

These three boys at Ulalo Comprehensive School each receive a daily school lunch through Umoja’s school lunch feeding program. 🧡

For just $50, you can provide school lunch for one student for an entire year. A donation of $150 feeds all three boys for the full school year — helping them stay nourished, focused, and ready to learn.

Small acts of generosity create lasting impact.

Thumbs up for school lunch today at Ogada Comprehensive School! 👍🧡

Nutritious meals help Umoja students stay healthy, focused, and ready to learn. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible for children across our partner schools in Kenya.

Earlier this month, Umoja conducted a two-day manual review training for the Get-Up and Bet-Up programs, focused on empowering adolescents aged 12–17, with a focus on orphaned and vulnerable children.

The sessions reviewed key topics including health, relationships, talent development, and life skills, while emphasizing mentorship, safe spaces, and informed decision-making to help young people lead healthy and responsible lives.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible volunteer cooks who prepare daily school lunches for all 5,453 Umoja students across our 21 partner schools in the greater Chulaimbo, Kenya region. 🧡

Pictured below is the dedicated volunteer cook at Kuoyo Comprehensive School. Thank you for your commitment and care to help ensure that students are nourished, supported, and ready to learn each day.

Umoja is empowering and transforming the lives of children! 🧡

This past week, our primary and junior high school students received new blankets through our Basic Needs Program. For many of these children, these blankets are not only for them, but also for their families during the cooler months.

By helping provide warmth and comfort, we are also helping students get the rest they need to focus, learn, and thrive in school. Education begins with meeting basic needs, and together we are making a lasting difference in these children's lives.

Asante sana to all of our generous donors and supporters who make this possible. Your kindness is bringing hope, warmth, and opportunity to so many families.

🌾📚 Term 2 Grain Distribution for Umoja’s Child-Headed Households 🧡

Today, our Ogada students received their grain support for Term 2 — a vital step in ensuring they have nourishment, stability, and the opportunity to continue focusing on their education despite the challenges they face at home.

These resilient young learners carry responsibilities far beyond their years, yet they continue to show courage, determination, and hope every single day.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Umoja’s mission of empowering vulnerable and orphaned children through education and care. Together, we are changing lives one child at a time. ✨

HopeInAction Term2Support EmpoweringChildren

Last week, the Reason 2 Smile Library team in Kenya visited Kawino Primary School with the Mobile Library Program. Over 360 learners from Grade 3 to Grade 9 benefited from more than 700 books, including story books, novels, revision materials, and reference books. 🏫📚

“It was our first visit to the school, and both the learners and teachers warmly welcomed us with great excitement and appreciation. They also asked us to pass their heartfelt gratitude to the US team for their continued support,” said Norbert Ouko, Librarian.

Together, we continue inspiring young readers and promoting a culture of learning. 📚✨

📚 Hunger is one of the biggest barriers to education.

That’s why Umoja Partnership works alongside local schools and families in Kenya to provide daily school lunch for thousands of students — helping children attend class, concentrate, and build brighter futures.

Just $50 helps feed a child school lunch for an entire year. Small acts of generosity can create lifelong impact. 🌍

Join us in making sure no child learns on an empty stomach.
