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.

ACF SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Sponsors needed!

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 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.

Peter Nkirrimpa lost his father 12 years ago.  He has 5 older siblings: 3 sisters and 2 brothers.  As a single woman, his Mum lives well below the poverty.  When she came to us asking for assistance, we took him into our program - having faith that we would be able to find a sponsor.  Peter is a very humble boy, an average student, who would do well to have a male role figure as a sponsor.  He has been very happy just to be in our program and has just started high school this year.

Okay folks, I know the headlines lately are disturbing; missiles flying in the Middle East, tensions spiking, and crises everywhere. It's easy to scroll through and come away disheartened. But here's the thing: right now, in quiet corners like our classrooms in Kenya, something else is happening. Kids—Maasai kids—are raising their hands, laughing over math problems, and dreaming bigger than ever before. Look at these faces in the pics to the right — eyes wide with wonder, tentative smiles breaking forth. Good things are still happening in our world - the stories just don't make it to the mainstream media.

I'm bursting with excitement to share some good news! Cynthia graduated over a year ago with a degree in Business & IT and has been searching diligently for employment without success. Finally, after much persistence and a tough round of interviews, she was selected for this position at the top university in Kenya. We are told that these government internships almost always turn into full time jobs. It's a modest salary, but enough to allow Cynthia to have a small apartment in Nairobi and care for herself.

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.
