Fund a project
Fourteen Local Heroes in seven countries have a plan, a team and a budget. What they need is a donor ready to say yes. Each project below is fully scoped and ready to fund, from $18,000 to $36,000. Every total includes 20% for monitoring and evaluation, so results are tracked from the first day to the last.
A complete gift reaches the young people served directly, then their families, schools and neighbors. Each project shows both rings, so donors can see what one gift sets in motion.

Period Project for Kenyan Girls
Teenseed Africa CBO
Nairobi and Busia County, Kenya
Girls • Health & Safety
-
For too many girls, the first period means the first missed week of school. This project keeps 400 adolescent girls in class across two communities, Kiambiu in Nairobi and Port Victoria in Busia County. Each girl receives reusable menstrual dignity kits and a 12-month curriculum on sexual and reproductive health, bodily autonomy and peer-led prevention of gender-based violence.
Fund the full project: $36,000
Timeline: September 2026 to September 2027
Reach: 400 girls directly, about 200 more through peers, families and community leaders
Cost per direct participant: $90
-
Girls who can manage their periods with confidence stop losing school days, and those days add up over a year. A full curriculum gives them knowledge and a voice, and trained peers carry it to the girls around them. Before any session begins, Teenseed briefs local leaders, caregivers and school staff and invites their concerns, so each community helps shape the work and keeps it going.
-
Quinter Faith, Executive Director, leads Teenseed Africa. The organization started in Port Victoria, a fishing town in Busia County, in direct response to early and forced marriage, sexual exploitation and school dropout among adolescent girls. Thirteen years on, it brings the same model to one of Nairobi’s most densely populated informal settlements.
Digital Skills, Real Jobs
Golden Boots Uganda (GoBU)
Uganda
Disability Inclusion • Technology • Education
-
In Uganda, more than 80% of people with disabilities live below the poverty line, and stigma keeps many youth out of work. This project puts 200 youth with disabilities on a level playing field with practical AI and digital skills, taught in 10 intensive full-day workshops. It also launches the “Beyond Limits” podcast, a platform that tells their stories and challenges the stigma.
Fund the full project: $36,000
Reach: 200 youth directly, about 500 more through peers, local businesses and podcast listeners
Cost per direct participant: $180
-
A young person with marketable digital skills moves from dependency to earning, and shares those skills with peers and community businesses. The podcast carries the message further: capability, not curse. The project also hires three local staff and buys catering, internet, transport and printing locally, so the economy around the workshops grows too.
-
Muhammed Kisirisa, Founder and CEO, leads Golden Boots Uganda, an organization built around the rights and potential of young people with disabilities. His program turns advocacy into skills, income and visibility.
Train Girl Climate Leaders
Youth for Equity and Social Change
India
Girls • Health & Safety • Environment
-
In India, polluted air and water and mounting waste are public health emergencies, and villages feel it first. This project trains 50 young women leaders and 250 girls across five villages to lead climate and environmental action in their own communities, with tree plantation drives, clean-ups, street theatre and community dialogues.
Fund the full project: $19,299.60
Reach: about 5,800 people directly, and up to 25,000 more across the five villages
Cost per direct participant: $3.33
-
A girl who leads a clean-up learns to speak up, make decisions and rally others, and those skills last for life. Her campaigns draw in schools, village leaders and neighbors, and cleaner villages mean healthier families. It is the widest reach in the portfolio, and it is led by girls.
Youth-Run Poultry Farm
Transforming Community for Social Change (TCSC)
Kenya
Revenue Generation • Health & Safety
-
This project turns a farm into a future for young people the school system left behind. Full funding builds a two-part poultry operation of 1,000 egg-laying hens and 1,000 meat birds, bought at eight weeks old so production starts quickly, along with the poultry house, specialized feed and veterinary care. Youth run it, learn it and earn from it.
Fund the full project: $21,486
Reach: 65 youth directly, about 2,600 more through the surrounding community
Cost per direct participant: $331
-
Young people build the structure, feed the birds, give vaccinations and find markets, so they gain a full set of business skills and an income. The community gains a dependable local supply of eggs and birds, including for ceremonies and events. Neighbors also learn from the youth how to use poultry manure to improve soil fertility.
-
Getry Agizah Anguva, Executive Director, leads TCSC, an organization that backs young people society too quickly writes off. Its conviction is that young people who have grown up differently are not failures, and that equal opportunity is the way to prove it.
Build Youth Money Skills
Kilimahewa Women and Orphan Center for Education (KIWOCE)
Nairobi and Busia County, Kenya
Education • Financial Literacy
-
Most young people in Tanzania enter adulthood without anyone teaching them to budget, save or borrow responsibly. This project builds a Youth Financial Awareness Center, constructed and equipped from the ground up, where 150 older youth learn hands-on financial skills, digital banking and entrepreneurship.
Fund the full project: $26,400
Reach: 150 older youth directly, about 570 more through families and peers
Cost per direct participant: $176
-
A young person who understands money makes better choices for an entire household. Participants apply what they learn and teach it to families and friends, so budgeting habits, savings and small businesses spread through the community. The center stays in place after the training cycle, ready for every new group of youth.

Graceanna E. Lyimo, Director and Founder, leads Kilimahewa Women and Orphan Center for Education, a Tanzanian organization already working with GO Campaign.
Maize Mill, Local Jobs
Kilimahewa Women and Orphan Center for Education (KIWOCE)
Nairobi and Busia County, Kenya
Food Security • Health & Safety • Jobs
-
One machine can turn a harvest into a living. This project buys and installs a modern maize mill, with a cleaner, dehuller, mill, sifter, packaging equipment, scales and backup power, so local farmers can sell their maize at fair prices and young people can work in the business that processes it.
Fund the full project: $19,200
Reach: 150 older youth directly, about 570 more through farmers, families and local buyers
Cost per direct participant: $128
-
Farmers gain a reliable market and lose less of their harvest after picking. Young people gain jobs, and households gain income. Families and traders in the area gain access to quality maize flour, and a stronger local grain economy supports food security for the whole community.

Train Teachers, Heal Children
Faces Up Uganda
Uganda
Mental Health • Health & Safety
-
Every child needs one trusted adult who knows how to help them heal, and for many Ugandan children that adult is a teacher. This project trains 60 educators to bring arts-based mental health and psychosocial support into 20 primary schools, creating emotionally safe classrooms for 1,500 vulnerable children.
Fund the full project: $18,000
Reach: 1,560 educators and children directly, about 3,000 more through families and school communities
Cost per direct participant: $11.54
-
Training a teacher once means helping every class that teacher leads for years to come. Children who once felt unseen learn safe ways to express emotion and begin to believe in themselves again. Schools are full partners in the work, so the skills stay in the building and strengthen the relationships children already trust.
-
Emmanuel Ssekitto Kalule, Founder and CEO, leads Faces Up Uganda. He and his team stopped asking how many children they could reach themselves and started asking how many they could reach through the adults who spend the most time with them. The answer is this model.
Bring Books to Villages
Amuno Rural Hub
Eastern Uganda
Education • Literacy
-
Four youth Literacy Champions on bicycles have already brought books to 747 children in four villages since July 2025. This project gives them a bigger set of wheels. A solar-powered Mobile Learning Hub carries books, digital learning, internet access and play-based literacy activities straight to rural children who have almost no other access to them.
Fund the full project: $18,000
Reach: 1,500 children directly, about 6,000 more through parents, teachers and local leaders
Cost per direct participant: $12
-
A child who has books and a place to learn starts school with more confidence and stays engaged longer. Parents, caregivers, teachers and religious and local leaders gain literacy resources and a shared space for community learning, and the youth Literacy Champions grow into leaders themselves.
-
Anthony Okiria, Founder and Team Lead, leads Amuno Rural Hub. The program he built shows what community demand and a few bicycles can do, and the Mobile Learning Hub is the next stage of that proven model.
Keep Rwandan Girls Learning
Hope for Tomorrow
Kirehe and Kayonza Districts, Rwanda
Education • Girls
-
Rwanda has made real progress on girls’ education, yet in rural communities menstruation still keeps girls out of class. This project reaches 1,000 vulnerable adolescent girls in Kirehe and Kayonza Districts with reusable menstrual hygiene kits, menstrual health education, life skills and community support, so no girl has to choose between her period and her education.
Fund the full project: $27,500.40
Reach: 1,000 girls directly, about 1,060 more through families, schools and the wider community
Cost per direct participant: $27.50
-
Girls who attend class every day learn more, take part more and stay in school longer. Families and teachers become stronger allies for their daughters and students, and communities benefit when more girls finish school. Reusable kits keep working long after the project ends.
-
Belyse Mukayiranga, Executive Director, leads Hope for Tomorrow, a Rwandan organization that supports vulnerable adolescent girls in rural communities.
Build Girls’ Training Center
Hakizetu Organization
Tanzania
Education • Girls
-
Demand for Hakizetu’s training already outgrows its space. This project builds a safe, inclusive vocational training facility where 112 young mothers and girls, many of them survivors of child marriage, teenage pregnancy and gender-based violence, learn garment making and fashion design, with childcare support so they can stay in the classroom. Apprenticeships and business development coaching help each graduate land a job or launch her own enterprise.
Fund the full project: $36,000
Reach: 112 young women and girls directly, about 224 more through their children and families
Cost per direct participant: $321
-
When one young woman earns a steady income, her household changes. Children get to school, meals are more reliable and health care becomes affordable. Graduates become employers and role models in their communities, and a permanent building means every new class starts with a place waiting for it.
-
Rev. Gervas Evodius, Executive Director, leads Hakizetu, an organization founded by survivors of gender-based violence. The women it serves today are shaping the program, and the change that began with its founders now reaches others in the same position.
Healing Circles for Youth
CleanSlate Inc.
Southern California, USA
Mental Health • Health & Safety
-
Young people who have lived through violence and loss often cannot find the words for it. This project gives 80 youth a safe place to speak, and a path from survival to thriving. Full funding brings culturally and historically informed counselors and certified peer counselors together with Healing Circles, sound baths, movement and the arts, in one-on-one sessions and community gatherings, both virtual and in person.
Fund the full project: $36,000
Reach: 80 youth directly, about 120 more through families, elders and community partners
Cost per direct participant: $450
-
A young person who learns to feel safe in their own body and story changes how they show up at home, at school and with friends. CleanSlate brings youth and elders into the same conversations, building common ground that lasts beyond any single session. Services are offered through trusted local agencies, so the healing happens where young people already are.
-
Marianne Diaz, Founding Director, leads CleanSlate, which has worked for years alongside community agencies in Southern California. Her approach replaces fear-driven discipline with listening, belonging and peer support, and it is shifting how long-established service providers work with youth.
Street Youth to School
Community Transformers Organization
Kenya
Health & Safety • Homelessness
-
This project moves young people from the street to the classroom. Full funding supports 120 street-connected youth through a complete pathway: rehabilitation, shelter, counseling, a street feeding program, then enrollment in formal education or vocational training so they leave with skills to support themselves.
Fund the full project: $34,800
Reach: 120 youth directly, about 360 more through families and the surrounding community
Cost per direct participant: $290
-
A young person with an education and a trade becomes an earner, not a statistic. Street-related crime and petty offenses drop as more youth find a stable place to live, learn and work. Skilled graduates create local jobs and services, and their success shows other young people that a different path is possible.
-
Nicholas Omondi, Director, was born and raised in a Kenyan slum. He studied community development and sociology, has worked in his community since 2004 and founded Community Transformers in 2005. He also leads Tree House Children’s Family, and his work is driven by one belief: people deserve a second chance.
HIV Care for Children
Action pour le Developpement et la Protection de la Famille (ADPF)
Man, Ivory Coast
Health & Safety
-
Health, treatment and belonging should never depend on a child’s HIV status. This project surrounds 300 children living with HIV, orphans and vulnerable children with prevention, care, protection and support. Full funding pays for community mobilization, self-help groups, recreational activities for children, training for community health workers and the communications they need to stay connected to families.
Fund the full project: $35,005.20
Reach: 300 children directly, about 150 more through families and caregivers
Cost per direct participant: $117
-
Regular community-based follow-up helps children stay on treatment without interruption, and healthier children are able to stay in school and play with friends. Trained community health workers keep that support running in every neighborhood. Awareness activities reduce stigma and discrimination, and stronger treatment adherence helps cut HIV transmission across the Man Health District.
-
Agnès Doh, General Coordinator, grew up in Man, in western Côte d’Ivoire, where conflict in the early 2000s closed schools and displaced children. In 2004 she organized women in her community to meet urgent needs, and in 2008 that effort became ADPF, a registered organization. Today a team of 11 staff and 15 volunteer community relays carries the mission of protecting families and defending the rights of women and children.
meals for Children in therapy
Gabriella Children’s Rehabilitation Centre Moshi, Tanzania
Disability & rehabilitation
-
Children with disabilities grow fastest when nothing stands between them and therapy. This project removes hunger from the equation. Full funding provides daily nutritious meals for about 250 children and youth with disabilities, so they arrive at rehabilitation, special education and vocational training ready to learn.
Fund the full project: $36,000
Reach: 250 young people directly, about 4,000 more through families, schools and the wider community
Cost per direct participant: $144
-
A child who eats reliably stays in therapy and builds communication, mobility and self-care skills. Youth in vocational training keep their focus and move toward work and independence. Families carry less of the daily burden, and caregivers gain confidence supporting a child with a disability at home. Schools, health workers and local food suppliers share in the gains.
-
Brenda Shuma, Executive Director, is a Senior Pediatric Occupational Therapist who co-founded the Gabriella Centre in 2009. She saw children with autism and learning disabilities going without therapy, left her job and built the answer herself. The centre began with three children and no government funding. It has since supported more than 2,500, and Brenda received a CHILD 10 Award in 2015 for her work on children’s rights.
