This Christmas is a great time to join the Muindi

This Christmas is a great time to join the Muindi Foundation as it raises money to support and empower homeless, vulnerable, and low-income children to change the trajectory of their lives through educational success.
You can give the gift that supports our Learning Programs, structured for vulnerable, underserved, and at-risk children, focused on building competencies in reading, writing and math in a fun and safe environment. You’ll be doing more than just donating—your kindness will make it possible for these children to have hands-on early education intervention.

We can't do it without you. Join the Muindi Foundation today by Donating Now. Visit us at www.muindifoundation.org.

We are a 501(c)(3) tax deductible organization | Federal Tax ID: 83-1601484

‘Tis the season to be jolly…
We can’t believe another year is almost over!
As we emerge from the pandemic, we are grateful to reconnect in-person with you and your families.

In 2022, we continued our bi-monthly distribution of hygiene and toiletry supplies to homeless camps in downtown San Jose. From your continued support we were able to distribute over 10,000 hygiene, toiletry, and clothing items to the most vulnerable in our community.

During the pandemic our organization identified and responded to a need to support vulnerable elementary age children as they adapted to home-school. With your support, we were able to launch a FREE
six-week Summer LearnNow program. The program was free for qualified elementary aged children and focused on building competency in reading, writing and math.

Our program worked to combat summer learning loss and provided support services, including nutritional snacks and meals, confidence-building activities, and safe supervision. Above all else, our students received personal mentorship from adults invested in their success and well-being.

In January 2023 we are expanding our LearnNow program to include a Winter and Spring After School Homework Club which will operate Monday – Thursday from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm. The program will focus on the same core competencies piloted in our Summer Program, and we are so excited to continue supporting students and families in the New Year.

As we reflect on 2022, the Muindi Foundation team is continuing to dream big, but we cannot do it without you. We invite you to partner with us to support children who come from low-income and underserved communities in Silicon Valley and change the trajectory of their lives through positive mentorship and educational success.

Thank you from the bottom of our

Grateful & Blessed

During the pandemic our organization identified and responded to a need to support at-risk elementary age children as they adapted to home-schooling. With the onset of the pandemic, not only were families experiencing homelessness, food insecurity and financial hardship, the children were also not able to attend school in-person and most of them did not have access to laptops, internet and help with schoolwork.

With your support, we were able to launch a six-week Summer LearnNow program. Children experiencing homelessness or extreme poverty often lack the support and resources needed to excel in school. With this in mind, our Summer LearnNow program was free for qualified elementary aged children and focused on building competency in reading, writing and math. Our program worked to combat summer learning loss and provided support services, including nutritional snacks and meals, confidence-building activities, and safe supervision. Above all else, our students received personal mentorship from adults invested in their success and well-being.

As our kindness positively affects others, we feel more compassionate, confident, useful, and in control. We also find ourselves feeling more appreciative and optimistic. Furthermore, there is nothing as rewarding as giving back to others. Kindness and being generous can change the world.
