Hill Light Foundation and Girl Power USA
Hill Light Foundation and Girl Power USA met through a mutual team member, Marion Nekesa, and first worked together in August 2022 to organize a fun day at Tollen Children’s Centre in Kenya. The fun day succeeded a one-month teaching program at the home conducted by Girl Power USA team members from across Africa.
With their shared passion and goals for social impact, including youth empowerment and gender equality, the two organizations came together in an official partnership. Hill Light Foundation works with Girl Power USA to mentor, educate, empower and provide basic resources to Kenyan youth, with the former as the on-ground team in Kenya. This partnership aims to create awareness and drive change by working with and assisting local non-governmental organizations, homes, and foundations while highlighting their stories of hope.
Hill Light Foundation x Girl Power USA Partnership
Hill Light Foundation and Girl Power USA work together to support children’s homes in Kenya with basic needs, including food, access to water, sanitary products, and school supplies.
The Partnership supports Total Rehab Centre & Children’s Home for Disabled Children, a specialized home that caters to 45 children with Cerebral Palsy and Autism in Kenya. The collaboration focuses on funding revenue-generating programs to make the facility sustainable. One such initiative is purchasing 100 chickens for the home, the breeding of which will enable the home to cater to essential needs such as medication, food, and diapers.
Hill Light Foundation and Girl Power USA are also supporting Pillars of Hope children’s home in Kenya. The home, which houses 75 children and young people aged between one and twenty-five years old, is in need of crucial resources such as solar panels and batteries to provide consistent power. We are also working to support them with other essential needs such as school supplies and hair clippers.
Through this collaboration, we aim to foster a brighter future for underprivileged children in Kenya and provide them with the care and resources they require to thrive. Our commitment to positively impacting these children’s lives underscores the power of collective action and the belief that every child deserves a chance to lead a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. Together, Girl Power USA and Hill Light Foundation are building a brighter and more hopeful future for Kenyan youth.
Transforming Lives, Together
We believe that great things can be achieved with collective effort. Girl Power USA and Hill Light Foundation have joined hands to educate and avail opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, thus making the world a better place for all. The partnership serves a dual puprose: tackling the on-ground problems in Kenya while also empowering and supporting the youth who run Hill Light Foundation. Together, we envision creating a world where young people in Kenya can dream beyond their geographical boundaries and achieve beyond what their circumstances have afforded them. Join us in transforming lives and building a better, brighter tomorrow.
