Host a Party

Did you know for the average price of a night on the town ($81), you could provide 52 of our students in rural Kenya with a nutritious meal?

Have fun with friends and family by hosting a night in, and encourage guests to donate what they would have spent on a night out to support our girls instead.

Organize a dinner party, movie night, barbecue, board game tournament, or holiday party. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy an evening with friends, knowing that together you’re providing meals, quality education, and so much more to vulnerable girls in rural Kenya.

After the event, donate the proceeds online, over the phone, or by check.
