Kitumusote
Based in TZA
Tanzania
Ethnic/Religion

Kitumusote is a grass-roots, community based non-government organization established in Mondulli Juu, Tanzania. Kitumusote exists to ensure the sustainability of the Maasai way of life. We practice this by encouraging the conservation of indigenous resources, creating environmental awareness, and facilitating women's empowerment and educational opportunities. We specifically focus on issues such as food security, deforestation, human rights, basic health care, women's education, and knowledge sharing. Our ultimate goal is to create a globally heightened sense of awareness and respect for the Maasai people and their environment. We want to create awareness and respect for the Maasai people and our environment to share with the world. It is our hope that the world will come to know and understand Maasai, our culture, our way of life, our practices and help us bridge the gap between the modern world and our people in order to create a peaceful way of life.


Kivuli
Based in ITA
Italy
Children/Education

The Koinonia Community in Nairobi is made up of ten young Kenyans. Some of them are students, others work in the field of social communications and data processing, and two of them are full-time educators. All of them devote part of their time and salary to a project for street children. The aim of this project is to offer the children a place where, aside from learning how to read and write, they can have hot meals, wash themselves and wash their clothes, play and practice sports. The Koinonia Community is now able to perform this task in a new house with suitable rooms, specifically planned for the children reception and their activities. If you wish to do something for street children you can "adopt" the project developed in Koinonia, contributing to the support and care of all the children living in the community. So this is not an individual adoption of only one child, but the adoption of the whole project "Kivuli". So no one child risks being excluded. To "adopt" the Koinonia Project means to grant to all children who are asking for help the possibility to eat, to study and make positive choices for the future, experiencing the feeling of safety and love offered by adult care.


Kiwanis International Foundation
Based in USA
United States
Children/Education

The Kiwanis International Foundation was established as a legal entity in 1939. When Kiwanis International celebrated its 25th anniversary one year later, Kiwanian Walter Zeller donated 25 silver dollars in hopes that these would be auctioned to provide a “nest egg” for the Foundation. Thankfully, the nest egg netted US$625 and the Foundation’s worldwide service began. From those humble beginnings, the Kiwanis International Foundation has grown to a multimillion-dollar foundation providing grants to thousands of organizations worldwide aimed at making better the lives of children. Thus, our mission – “to assist Kiwanis International in serving the children of the world” – is our priority. The Kiwanis International Foundation is on the threshold of one of the most exciting periods in our history. Powerful forces are reshaping the landscape of children’s issues, and we are responding by remaining focused on our mission, strengthening our programs, and securing the resources needed to meet these challenges and excel.

The amount of member families in our local associations is nearly 1100.

Canada

KULE FOUNDATION CANADA/INTERNATIONAL is a non-profit organization which started as Kumbuka Universal Learning Experiences (KULE). Originally, KULE was a Summer Program, a partnership that provided senior high school students and university undergraduates with an opportunity to participate in international development projects addressing key global issues such as health, education and poverty eradication. Since then, it has evolved into a broader, KULE Foundation Canada/International, which primarily aims to provide continuous long-term sustainable local projects while integrating its Summer Program into these projects. KULE’s learning activities go far beyond the classroom. They extend the immediate and familiar world of the Summer Program participants into that which they have hardly ever experienced in their lives. The existing projects are situated in Kenya, the heart of East Africa.

Our main aim is to ensure a better future for all children through improving and providing their various physical, medical, social, economical and educational needs.
