Our Key Programs
Know How We Are Changing Lives
We are bridging the educational divide with our ASPIRE Learning Upgrade Centre. Our center provides free tutoring in English, Math, and Digital Literacy to start with, followed up with wider subjects for students from Grades 1 to 12, with a special focus on Grades 1 to 6. Building a strong foundation to enable students to “think” independently, tackle any challenges, and promote independent study to be successful.
To foster 21st-century skills, we have created/helped set up IT labs and provided laptops and digital resources to help students gain essential competencies for today’s technology-driven world. Through interactive, supportive learning experiences, students enhance their literacy, creating a strong foundation in numeracy and digital skills—paving the way for long-term academic and career success.
Hunger remains a significant challenge in many Kenyan communities. Through our food distribution efforts, we support families in need by providing essential nourishment. Additionally, we promote self-employment and economic uplifting opportunities by helping individuals build sustainable livelihoods.
We are also creating economic uplifting opportunities through self-employment programs, empowering people to become independent, self-sufficient, and contributing to their local economies. This holistic approach tackles hunger and poverty, giving families the tools to thrive.
Uji Feeding Program in Mombasa. Join us in supporting the Uji (traditional porridge) Feeding Program at Serani Boys’ School and Mbaraki Girls’ School in Mombasa. By providing our special blend of nutritious, traditional Uji porridge, we ensure that children receive a mix rich in essential vitamins and minerals, boosting their health, concentration, and academic performance.
For many students, this is their first meal of the day—an invaluable start that fuels their learning and growth. By providing the first meal of the day, and for many children whose families cannot afford the breakfast meal, their nutritional needs. Together, we can create a foundation for a brighter future, one mug full of Uji at a time.
We provide comprehensive support to many single mothers who are taking care of their orphans and their siblings, taking up their cases and assisting them to ensure they are able to get the resources they need to thrive.
The orphans and their siblings are encouraged to attend our educational programs, where they receive tutoring to build strong academic foundations. Families in need are provided with food hampers and other essential resources, along with emotional and motivational support to help them navigate difficult times.
Additionally, adults in these families are coached on management skills, basic budgeting, and are supported in establishing or expanding their businesses. If needed, they are also trained in new skills tailored to their interests, empowering them to break free from dependency and achieve economic self-sufficiency.
Ultimately, they are equipped to help others in similar situations, creating a cycle of support and community upliftment.
In a village where water is more precious than gold, the struggle for clean, accessible water is a daily reality. Imagine walking miles under the scorching sun just to find a drop of water. Many kids have to spend time fetching water instead of studying, reading, or playing.
It’s tough work, it takes hours to get 20 litres of water. This is the plight faced by many every day.
We are on a mission to change this narrative by creating a borehole that will bring the gift of water to our village. With your help, we can drill deep into the earth and tap into a sustainable water source that will provide life, health, time for kids to be kids, and hope for generations to come.
We support very aged senior citizens who are unable to work and have no family to assist them, often relying on neighbors and well-wishers for food.
As funds allow, we reach out to the most vulnerable and provide them with food hampers to help ease their struggles.
Teach & Help Africa extends food assistance to schools for deaf and blind children, ensuring that those in need have access to essential nourishment. Our mission is to support the most vulnerable members of the community through kindness and generosity.
Our aim is to empower the students through a variety of training programs, to equip them with the skills & tools necessary to establish their own micro enterprises and thrive, helping them gain the confidence and practical knowledge to become financially independent.
This initiative will foster a sense of self-confidence & self-sufficiency, nurturing both their personal & professional growth, allowing the students to be active, contributing members of society whilst overcoming their challenges.

How a Van Transformed One Person’s Life and Livelihood?
One of our proudest success stories is the funding of a van to help an individual start a taxi or Uber service. This initiative provided them with the opportunity to create a sustainable income, transforming their financial situation and empowering them to support their family. With the van, they gained the ability to work flexibly, earn a steady income, and eventually expand their services. This project not only helped lift one person out of financial hardship but also demonstrated the power of providing tangible resources to fuel self-sufficiency. It’s a testament to how small investments can have a lasting impact on lives, offering both economic empowerment and hope for a brighter future.
Empowering a Woman to Build Her Own Business
Another inspiring success story is when we provided a sewing machine to a woman looking to start her own small business. With this simple yet powerful tool, she was able to turn her sewing skills into a sustainable source of income. She began by offering tailoring services to her community, quickly gaining a loyal customer base. The sewing machine not only enabled her to support herself and her family but also gave her the confidence to expand her business, creating jobs for others in the process. This initiative empowered her to become financially independent, and it has had a ripple effect in her community, helping others believe in the potential of self-employment.
