Heroes Day is a holiday in Kenya to honor the nation’s heroes.
Join us for our annual fundraiser in honor of our heroes: the families we serve.
This year, we are celebrating and giving all weekend!
Fifteen years ago we started an organization to serve a single slum community in western Kenya called Obunga. We'd been involved there for several years and God led our founder, Allison, to clarify a three-part strategy. Ndoto, which means Dream, would focus on education, discipleship, and development. If we could do all three, Obunga would be a different place.
In the years since, God has used our beautifully imperfect efforts to indeed transform the community, and our strategy has grown to a ministry reaching thousands. Four major programs have emerged, each distinct yet reinforcing the others.
The sponsorship program removes obstacles from students reaching their goals and holistically invests in them. The church is a worshiping home and evangelism outpost. The sports ministry is helping young people train for their dreams while developing character. And our newest program, the private school, is charting a new path for education in our community.
Just once a year, we come right out and ask for donations to support this ministry. All year long, faithful donors are giving toward our sponsorship fund, which supports much of our work in Kenya. We send 100% of those donations to Kenya.
That means that everything else keeping Ndoto running, including USA salaries, accounting expenses, travel to and from Kenya, and even credit card fees have to be paid from other funds. We don't pretend that these expenses are exciting to donate toward. But we know you understand that the exciting part couldn't exist without them.
Would you join us for our seventh annual online fundraiser, Heroes Weekend, to keep Ndoto's ministry alive? We're hosting this online giving weekend in conjunction with our every-five-years in-person celebration in Dallas, but we have supporters from all over the country and internationally. Between the two events, we need to raise about $75,000. We can do this, together!
