Welcome to the Longonot Education Initiative.

Our mission is to support and develop sustainable education opportunities for children in Kenya. We find this requires a holistic approach to education—encompassing health, nutrition, and safe living environments as well as teachers, schools, and supplies.

This—along with working with communities to find sustainable local solutions for local problems—guides our organizational philosophy.
