Dedicated to the education and support of
vulnerable kenyan Children
The Jirani Project is a grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated to the education and support of vulnerable Kenyan children.
Material & Social support
We provide each child under our care with the support needed for their shelter, food, school tuition, clothing, and basic medical care.
Collaborative Effort Brings an Offline Digital Library to The Jirani Project!
The Jirani Project has launched an exciting new collaborative project with Engineering students at Arizona State University – an offline digital library in our new office in Lumakanda, Western Kenya!
Undergraduate students in the Engineering Projects in Community Services (EPICS) worked for the past year to design a durable, offline device to store many volumes for use by our Jirani children and the larger community.
Through funding from Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Madison, Wisconsin, in their Giftaway program, we were able to purchase 8 new tablets that Mark Okello and friends of JP brought to Kenya for use in the library. Photos show children using the digital library in its early weeks.
Who We Serve
We focus on serving some of the most vulnerable children in Kenya – orphans, homeless and refugees.
