Our Mission

Open the door to a new future for under $2 per day!

Amboseli Children's Fund is committed to bringing about transformative change for Maasai children living with extreme need in the remote area of Amboseli, Kenya.

Our mission is to eliminate FGM and early marriage and improve the standard of living by providing access to education, entrepreneurial enterprises, clean water, food and housing.

Government assistance does not exist for these people. Without our help, they have little hope of breaking free of this cycle of poverty.

Education has been proven to be the single, most effective means of change and 100% of your donations go toward this endeavor.

Sponsored children receive a balanced diet, clean drinking water, toiletries, uniforms, books and tuition - even post-secondary education.

Our objective is not to simply get them through school; we also provide vocational training and mentoring to ensure they can obtain viable employment or start their own business. ACF students will be leaders within their communities - bringing about change, advancement and a brighter future for generations to come. The impact is huge!

Please join Amboseli Children's Fund in our mission to give back to those less fortunate - give to our scholarship fund or sponsor a child today.

Happiness Ninayiai -age 7

Happiness Ninayiai is a 7-year-old girl in grade 1. Happiness is very bright and ranks at the top of her class. We currently have her enrolled at Winners Academy in Namelok because her parents have faced ongoing difficulties with paying school fees since she began her education. Despite these obstacles, she is determined to succeed and puts in a lot of effort in her studies. Happiness hopes to get a sponsor soon and promises to make them proud!

Mark - age 9

Mark is currently in grade 4. He has 2 brothers; 2 sisters and is a cheerful, outgoing boy. His parents have no regular source of income and struggle to keep their children in school. A teacher approached Leonard about accepting Mark into our program saying that even though he is only 9, he has a thirst for knowledge and is a quick learner. This is a child that will do well if he is allowed to continue his education. Please consider becoming a sponsor for this bright young man.

Susan Resian - age 11

Susan Resian has been with our program for several years. She is currently in grade 6 and attending Presentation Academy in Kimana; a school for high achievers and dedicated students. Unfortunately, her sponsor is no longer able to continue her support. Susan will most likely be able to attend a university due to her high exam scores. We hope to find a sponsor that will ensure her continued educational journey.

ACF Cheetah Express January 2026

Our "Goats for the Holidays" campaign was a huge success! Due to your generous support we were able to provide goats for EVERY sponsored child and their family.
Leonard and Anne had their hands full, going to several markets to purchase all the goats and herding them to various locations where we had the children and their families gathered to receive them. With the help of a few of our older kids they pulled it off and everyone was overjoyed and truly thankful for this special gift.

What a wonderful few months it has been for Amboseli Children's Fund. Leonard is now on his way home after a whirlwind visit to connect with all of our ACF sponsors and donors.

We want to give special recognition to the kind folks from The Church At Woodmoor. Not only were we allowed to present our program to the congregation, we had six more children who gained sponsors from the church and many generous donations were given to the scholarship fund!

Oh my goodness, where do I start? We have so many wonderful events and activities scheduled for the next few months that I don't know where to begin.

First and foremost I guess, is Leonard's visit to the U.S. He arrives on Monday and will be here until mid-November. We have lots of meetings and presentations in CA, AZ and CO; hoping to spread the word about our work in Amboseli and gain new sponsors and donors to help us grow. Check out the matching gift program below that was made possible by a generous donor. It's a huge opportunity for us and any gift is appreciated!

You can sponsor a child for less than $2 per day!
