Building Leaders and Mentors
Our team at Muindi Foundation will train qualified high school student volunteers. In turn, these students act as mentors for their younger counterparts.
The selected high school students will volunteer in the Learning Club where they interact with elementary school students and carry out our vision to empower and improve. Not only do the mentors have fun tutoring, but they also learn about mentoring and leadership.
Hygiene Care Kits
Often many of us take basic toiletry items for granted. Our organizations provide hygiene care kits to those suffering from homelessness. One of the most requested items we receive are basic toiletry items (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, body wipes, hand sanitizer, body wipes, bottled water sock sand more).
Also, upon request, our organization provides hygiene kits to local homeless shelters and other non-profit partners through our partner share program. Donate $7 today. Learn more about our care kits options here!
Brown Bag Lunches
We prepare, pack, and distribute healthy lunches to those suffering from homelessness. Our goal is to feed 2,000 homeless individuals in 2021. As part of our Brown Bag Lunch program, we distribute healthy lunches to homeless and needy families in our local community. A lunch consists of a bottle of water, a sandwich a fruit (banana, orange, or fruit cup), two carbs (chips, granola bar). We pack the items in a brown paper bag and they’re ready for distribution to our downtown homeless community.
