The Angel Investor program pairs individual donors with individual children living in some of the poorest regions of the world. Currently, our Angel Investor program supports children in eastern Kenya, southern Haiti, and two different communities in Peru. The children involved in this program are identified by community health workers as the most vulnerable children in the whole community. A donor can support one of three needs for a child: school fees, healthcare, or food and water.

This Christmas season our team in Kenya worked tirelessly throughout November and December to acquire school uniforms, dresses, and shoes for the children involved in our Angel Investor program. The gifts corresponded to the need their Angel Investor supports. For example, children supported for school received shoes, making it easier to get to school and participate in activities. For almost all of them, this was their first Christmas gift ever.

Their smiles and pride say it all. The joy of Christmas was alive and well this year. Here are some of the children receiving their gifts.
