Who We Are
The Kadowinja Foundation is registered in the Netherlands and works hand-in-hand with a Community Based Organisation (CBO) in Kenya. This partnership ensures that our efforts are both internationally supported and locally implemented with deep community understanding.
We bridge the gap between Dutch donors and Kenyan communities, ensuring that resources reach those who need them most efficiently and effectively. Our dual presence allows us to maintain high standards of accountability while staying deeply connected to the realities on the ground.

Our Mission
Kadowinja Foundation exists to uplift vulnerable children and communities in Kenya by providing them with opportunities that restore dignity, hope, and a fair chance in life. Our mission is to ensure that every child has access to education, nutritious food, clean drinking water, and basic healthcare—fundamental rights that no one should be denied. We work closely with schools, women’s groups, and local communities to create sustainable solutions that address hunger, strengthen health, improve learning environments, and empower families. Guided by compassion and transparency, we are committed to investing every resource where it matters most: in the lives of children who deserve a brighter future.
Our Vission
Our vision is a world where every child in Kenya can grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment. We believe in communities that are healthy, educated, and resilient—able not only to meet their daily needs but also to build sustainable livelihoods for future generations. Kadowinja Foundation envisions empowered women, youth, and families who can create lasting change within their own communities. Through long-term partnerships, sustainable development practices, and a shared commitment to equality, we aim to break cycles of poverty and open doors to opportunity. We dream of a future where no child goes hungry, no student is kept out of school due to lack of fees, and every community has access to clean water, sanitation, and the tools needed to thrive.
The "Forgotten Children"
Many vulnerable children in rural Kenya lack access to education, food, and clean water. These are the children who are often overlooked, but they hold immense potential waiting to be unlocked.
That’s all it takes for a child to attend school for one year without worry
