The Maisha Project is a non-profit organization focused on empowering communities in Kenya to address poverty, hunger, disease, and under-education through local efforts. Its programs include education sponsorships, school feeding, empowerment and micro-finance initiatives, and HIV/AIDS care and education, all aimed at creating lasting improvements in the lives of vulnerable families and children. The organization operates from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with a global reach anchored in Kenya’s Nyanza Province, where HIV/AIDS has a significant impact on households and community health. Founded by Beatrice Williamson, whose own sponsorship experience sparked the initiative, Maisha aims to transform lives by providing opportunities that enable people to improve their circumstances and their communities over time.
