Kiwimbi International Educational Empowerment
We see a world where all people are empowered through education to enrich their lives and reach their fullest potential. To achieve this vision, our mission is to partner with underserved communities to create educational opportunities through locally run libraries and community learning centers with help from your generous donations.
Building for the Future!
We are in the final stages of Phase One of our Capital Campaign, constructing a new Kiwimbi Learning Center, thoughtfully designed to increase our capacity to provide academic and vocational opportunities.
This new two-story building has approx 9,000 useable sq ft plus an open rooftop with traditional thatched covering for events and other large gatherings, adding a third again as much space to the building; a special, scenic space for a variety of gatherings, even viewing the night sky.
It is a solar-powered, multi-purpose building that frees up space in our existing Library to accommodate more books and other resources.
When complete it will also provide basic offices, expanded space for our Camp programs, and useable land for sports and other outdoor activities. Importantly, it provides Kiwimbi with our own permanent home.

The Kiwimbi Library is an Open Door
The Kiwimbi Library is an OPEN DOOR for the children in the community where we work. In rural Kenya, opportunity can seem like a locked door because homes lack electricity for studying, books are scarce & safe places to gather and learn are hard to find. But for every child who walks through the doors of the Kiwimbi Library, that barrier is broken.
