GREENLEAF DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE GIVES BACK
Providing Space for More Lives
At Greenleaf Development Initiative, we’re raising funds and promoting initiatives to help those who need it most. With an array of fundraising events and volunteer projects, we welcome you to join our endeavors aimed at making the world a better place.
WHAT WE FIGHT FOR
Making the World a Better Place
Since our foundation in 2020, Greenleaf Development Initiative has been working day and night to achieve our main mission: to help alleviate the hardships faced by the people who need it the most. We get closer to this goal through our integrated efforts at our Charity. Want to find out how to get involved?
Charitable Giving
As a trusted charitable organization. We empower orphans and vulnerable children/families by providing them with skills that are necessary to negotiate support, develop self-reliance, and to grow physically, spiritually, academically, and financially. Many families within Kisumu-Kenya are child headed due to loss of parents either through HIV/AIDS or other related diseases/ailments which is the most deadly undeclared war in the country.
Nor words nor statistics can adequately capture human tragedy to children grieving for the dying/dead parents stigmatized by society through association with HIV/AIDS plunged into economic crisis and insecurity by their parent's death and struggling services or support systems in impoverished communities. Therefore, this foundation, has been initiated to help alleviate suffering of vulnerable families and Orphans.
