It started with a girl who received a sponsorship for education at the age of 9 in a small village in Kenya. She is Maisha founder Beatrice Williamson and her desire is to give others that same opportunity for education and a "hand up." The mission of Maisha is to transform lives and empower communities by providing lasting solutions to address poverty, hunger, disease and under-education. We accomplish that through projects such as Legacy of Hope education sponsorships, feeding, empowerment/micro-finance, HIV/AIDS care/education and more. Maisha ignites the passion in all of us to DO SOMETHING! As you engage with "The Maisha Story", you begin to realize the potential in yourself to rise above to create a brighter future, just as Beatrice did. We invite you to become part of the Maisha Story today! Here, you'll see updates of our progress in Kenya, find out about local Oklahoma events, volunteer opportunities, mission dates and be blessed with heartwarming stories. You help us raise awareness by sharing posts with your circle of influence. We'd love to hear your Maisha Story!
