Our Beginnings
Gideon Robi, Director of The Kenya Project
We have to go back to the very beginning and talk about Mama Robi. Her original hope and vision for loving on the children in her community is why the Kenya Project has grown to the size and scale it has today.
Since her original group of students and vision to teach and show Christ’s love to a small group of local children, the Kenya Project has partnered with Utunzi, our Kenyan Operating partner, and we have built facilities, grown a staff, and extended the reach of our programs ten-fold. For a detailed timeline of our history and major milestones, check out our History page.
Now under the leadership of Gideon Robi, Mama Robi’s son, we have a path forward into the future to continue building out programs like the trade school and other business community outreaches that allow us to impact the lives of Kenyan children, women, and families for generations to come.

Partner Organizations & Volunteer Groups
We are proud to be partners with several amazing churches and organizations that support our ongoing efforts to love on the children of Kenya.
