How does the sponsorship model work? (Pooled Funding)

When you sponsor a child for $19–$39, your contribution is pooled to ensure that all children at Rebirth Academy and the Children’s Home have what they need to thrive. While the funds are pooled, your personal connection is unique! You can focus your prayers and encouragement on the specific child you choose. Choosing any child makes a powerful impact on the entire community.

What is the Nutrition Program?

Our nutrition program provides three meals a day, every single day, to all children in our program and many from the surrounding community. This consistency helps physical health and mental focus, directly leading to improved test scores. All children eat, regardless of food scarcity in the community.

How does the Healthy Child Program work?

The Healthy Child Program acts like a collective insurance policy for our children. Health funds pay for supplies, staff nurses, and the ability to outsource higher needs of care. Our school nurse continually assesses, treats, and monitors the health and growth our children. The nurses staffed at Rebirth Academy and Children's Home were once students who graduated from Kenya Now's university sponsorship program. This perfectly demonstrates our 360 dgree approach to breaking the chain of poverty (opportunity, education, and giving back). This vital program provides every healthcare need a child may have, ensuring they stay healthy and smiling.

What are Food Distribution Events?

During "seasons of hunger" (periods between harvests when prices spike), we host large-scale events to feed families. We monitor the children at our compound to identify when the community needs urgent assistance, then we respond with your support.

Can I join a Team Trip to Kenya?

Yes! Every year we bring a team to see the impact firsthand. It’s an amazing opportunity to meet Bishop Petroba and Ruth, step out of your comfort zone, and experience the joy of the children in person. Sign up for updates to learn about future trips.

How does Kenya Now operate in Kenya?

We partner with trusted local ministries like Abundant Mercy of Jesus Ministries in Kitale. They provide the leadership and community trust, while we provide the resources to break the cycle of poverty.

Does Kenya Now share Christian teachings?

Yes. We partner with a Christian ministry and teach biblical values while serving all with compassion.

Can my employer match my donation?

Yes! Many companies double or triple your impact through platforms like Benevity. We have a great tool through Double the Donation that makes finding and submitting your match quick and easy. Did you know that some match programs allow matches on past donations gifted within the current tax year? It's definitely worth a quick search!
