Connected.

Philanthropic Projects + Insights to get us on the same team.

Projects, foundations, organizations, and ideas that bring us together for a mission of bettering wildlife and humanitarian preservation and conservation. I can’t do this without help and support, and you have the tools I need.

The feeling is mutual. Connecting is my forte, and I want to connect you with the right fit where you direct your gifts.

This can look like::

  • Building water resources and bettering the already accessible water accessibility.

  • Building and refurbishing schools with bathrooms, game courts, fields, greenhouses, updated or new school supplies, and gym equipment.

Current.

After a visit to Kenya in 2017 for three months, I learned that everything is done on, as Kenyan’s say, “Africa time”. This means things either get done fast or half-way over a very long period or not at all complete. Since oftentimes volunteers arrive with an idea that their impact is only as their time present, this leaves for a lot of messy leftovers for locals.

My current goal is to head back to Kenya and complete the core of what the school and village n for optimal education, clean waCurrent.

Since frequently volunteers arrive with the idea that their impact is only as their time present, this leaves many messy leftovers for locals.

My current goal is to head back to Kenya and complete the core of what the school and village n for optimal education, clean water sourcing, food accessibility, and what the children deserve.

A couple to do priorities::

  • Fix up the play gym- it’s made of metal and rusting, leaving quick steps that have broken out or jagged edges. Going down hot slides in the summer heat or swinging from a chunk of rusted metal with tiny hands with no tetanus shot makes for an easy choice to build sustainable, weather-proof, and safe play equipment.

  • Add toilets! Some people have dreams of meeting Brad Pitt or shaking Obama’s hand, but mine is to provide clean bathroom resources. Is that so much to ask? There is no plumbing, but at least it would be a seat. Who knows, maybe you’re a plumber, and this is the sign you’ve been requesting!

  • Ensure consistent resources are provided for the students. Including supplies for the siblings that attend other schools - we are not biased to just our school! All children and students deserve access to education and supplies.

  • Build a Greenhouse for daily meals to provide full stomachs for sharp minds and education in sustainable food sourcing.

  • Construct safe and clean water sources like stable water towers, easy to maintain and can withstand the weather.ter sourcing, food accessibility, and what the children deserve.
