Imani Collective is on a mission to break the cycle of generational poverty in Kenya through dignified work and holistic care. Our holistic care programs such as daily meals, childcare, literacy courses, and more, are at the heart of what we do, as they care for the whole person and sustainably uplift individuals and their families out of poverty, transforming generations. When you donate this Giving Tuesday, you are empowering artisans and their families to do more than survive, but to thrive.
Over 8.9 million Kenyans live below the international poverty line of $1.90 (World Bank). Over half of this number are women, as they are afforded less opportunity, support, and ability to become financially independent. And, when only one of these issues is addressed, it makes it harder for sustainable, long-term change to take place. For example, if a single mother is given a job but doesn't have childcare, it is harder to consistently work. Our holistic approach addresses these challenges.
Through our provision of dignified work and holistic programs to sustain and encourage them, women in Kenya are empowered to live up to their full potential and create better lives for themselves and their families. Our holistic care programs provide healthy food, reliable childcare, personal development, financial literacy, specialized trainings, a loving community, and more to our artisans. All of these pieces fit together to create a picture of real transformation that impacts generations.
Changing the life of one artisan can change the trajectory of their entire family. Now, picture what could happen if it were not just one artisan, but hundreds. Not just one family, but hundreds. Thousands even. THIS is how we break the cycle of generational poverty in Kenya. One, whole person at a time. So far, we've empowered over 800 individuals through holistic care. When you give this Giving Tuesday, your impact does not end there. It's just beginning. And it will continue, for generations.
