Who We Are
Lift A Life Foundation
A community-rooted organisation working in Kenya, built on a simple belief: every life can be lifted, and every community holds the strength to do it.
Our Story
Written by the people who lived it
Lift A Life Foundation exists because of real people, real needs and real decisions to act. That story belongs to the founders, the families and the communities involved, and we are documenting it properly rather than summarising it from a distance.
It will be published here in full, in their words, alongside the interviews and photography that go with it.
In the meantime, the clearest picture of who we are is what we actually do. Our programme pages set out the areas we work in, and you are welcome to contact us directly with any question about the foundation, how it is run, or how support is used.
Our Mission
Why we exist
To work alongside Kenyan communities to lift vulnerable children and families out of poverty, through education, health, clean water, livelihoods, child protection and youth development, and to build solutions those communities own and sustain long after we step back.
Our Vision
What we are working towards
A Kenya where no child's future is decided by the circumstances they were born into, and where every community has the means, the skills and the confidence to lift its own.
Lift A Life Foundation is a registered Community Based Organisation in Kenya. We are registered with the County Government of Kiambu, Department of Education, Gender, Culture and Social Services, under certificate number RSC/3811/CBO/2024, issued on 22 February 2024 in Ruiru Sub County, Gitothua Ward. Our registration is renewed annually and we file quarterly returns with the county. Contact us for governance or accountability information.

Accountability
We would rather say nothing than say something we cannot show you
You will not find headline impact numbers on this site yet. That is deliberate. Figures will appear here when they have been counted and can be evidenced, project by project, and not before.
The same applies to the stories we publish. Where a story involves a child or a family, it is told with their permission and with the dignity it deserves, or it is not told at all.
