Our Mission:

Mtoto Africa is a 501(c)3 who is focused on strengthening communities through educating children. By removing barriers such as lack of food, poor health, safety, trained teachers and a better learning environment, many young Kenyans will have a chance at a more independent and sustainable future.

Our Philosophy:

We believe providing an education is not just about the school. Kids needs mentors, job training, a safe living environment and positive relationships. We encourage local ownership through local participation. Student, parent and community involvement is key to success. We are open to not only financial participation and giving of resources, but also trips to the local Kenyan communities in Africa for hands-on learning and sharing experiences. Presently, Mtoto Africa is uniquely positioned to give 100 percent of its funds to its projects.

How You Can Become Involved:

In the past, we have had people involved through the giving of time, money or other resources. We highly encourage people to take a trip to Africa to participate on projects on the ground. Most recently in June of 2011, a group of 9 volunteers travelled to Kenya and put together a library for a local school. If you are interested in being involved, please email or call us.

 





2011 Projects

In the summer of 2011, a team of 10 from Atlanta left home for 10 days on a mission trip - destination, Magutu-ini Primary school in Kikuyu, Kenya. Mtoto Africa's 2011 project was to convert a somewhat abandoned building into the first ever Library at a public school in the Kikuyu area. For all the 300 students at the school, they had never seen the inside of a library.

2010 Projects

In 2009, Mtoto Africa visited his former primary school in Kikuyu Kenya. The school seemed to have been run down mainly due to lack of support from the government. There was shortage of teachers which lead to overcrowded classrooms and extremely high teacher/student ratio. In some classrooms, 4 to 5 kids were sharing a desk that is designed to seat 2.

2009 Projects

Compass school was started almost 10 years ago as a feeding program for orphaned children in the Kikuyu area. Over time, the program evolved into a school with over 300 in 2008. Among the many needs the school had, they were desperate for seating facilities. A team of 6 from Atlanta brought brand new tools from Home Depot ready to start a temporary wood shop.

2008 Projects

Sewing Machines, Uniforms, Field Day and Joseph !
