Exciting news! We’ve expanded our regenerative programming to Laikipia and Samburu Counties in Kenya. Already, we’re seeing trees stand tall and crop yields climb, providing nutritious food and new hope. 🌱 Every single hand involved is part of this life-giving impact.
#DidYouKnow regenerative agriculture can boost yields by up to 60% in areas impacted by climate change? 🌱 It’s about resilience, dignity, and empowering communities to thrive. Take action today at withmyown2hands.org (Link in bio) #FoodSecurity

(1/2) Let’s allow kids to be kids. 💛 When families have the essential resources needed to thrive, children have better health and more time to do what they do - just be kids.

(1/3) When Veronica first joined the Kipawa Women's Group in 2007, she was determined to help establish a group of resilient women who could support one another as business owners, mothers, and community leaders.

Getting active for a cause. 🏃
Last month, the 3rd grade students of St. Mary’s School hosted their very own empathy water walk. Each student did the walk while carrying a kid-friendly jerry can to raise awareness for those who walk an average of 3 miles for water in East Africa.
In total, they helped raise over $5,000 for #CleanWater! We’re so grateful for incredible youth advocates, like these students, who help make an impact in our world. Have a group interested in creating their own fundraiser that transforms lives? Email us: [email protected]
[1/2] Since implemented back in 2019, this #greenhouse has continued to provide learning opportunities and a stable food source for more than 100 youth in Nairobi, Kenya. 🌱
[2/2] In 2021 alone, the center was able to grow more than 6,000 pounds of produce, including delicious tomatoes, bell peppers and cabbages. Thank you, @gorjana_brand, for making this impact possible.
Hand-washing saves lives. 💦
Last year, we launched partnerships at health clinics across East Africa. These partnerships have allowed us to scale our #WASH program and protect more communities against the spread of viruses and disease.
Thanks to the support of our dedicated THRIVE community and water advocates like you, we’re on track to provide #handwashing stations, curriculum, and soap-making kits to six more health clinics by the end of this year.
Now that’s something to smile about!
#Sustainability can mean a lot of different things. For us, it means projects with the environment in mind, and long-term partnerships with localized development in mind. 🌱
Early on in partnering with a community, we implement #community-led goal setting and community buy-in to ensure viability, health and economic outcomes, proving our commitment to both environmental and local development #sustainability.
