How to Contribute

Your Help is Needed

Dollars, euros, pounds – they all go much further than you can imagine in Kawangware. And the need is profound. Even simple expenses, like a $2 bus ride into Central Nairobi, are out of reach sometimes.

By giving to Badilika Uishi, you help provide hope, dignity, and basic necessities to an overlooked group of people. Your contributions will fund special initiatives, such as community clean-up efforts and period supplies for girls, school fees to help break the cycle of poverty and trauma, as well as the mundane water and electric expenses that ensure members have food, a place to bathe, and a place to wash their clothes. 100% of your donations go directly to the program. 

  • $50 – 150 female condoms or 375 male condoms
  • $125 – annual school fees for one child (including lunch, uniform, and books)
  • $400 – sanitary pads for a year for girls who have their periods or had FGM
  • $6,000 – annual salary for a social worker who can provide mental health services to members

To Give:

To make a donation, send an email to: badilikauishiorg@gmail.com and one of our American volunteer partners (Naomi or Nina) will reach out.

Badilika Uishi is a Kenyan Non-Profit

Badilika Uishi is a certified Community Based Organization, a Kenyan designated non-profit organization that is focused on addressing social and economic issues in a specific community. As a non-profit organization, Badilika Uishi does not pay any taxes.

 

Because Badilika Uishi does not currently have an affiliated US 501-c-3 foundation, donations made by US taxpayers are not considered tax-deductible at this time. 

Current Funding

Badilika Uishi’s revenue currently comes from donations from individual supporters.

In addition, the program sponsors other small revenue generating activities that double as skills development programs: participants maintain a small flock of chickens whose eggs are sold in the market as well as some pigs that can be sold. Caring for these animals helps members new to recover reconnect with feelings of responsibility and accountability. Community beadwork and communal laundry efforts allow a space for women to come together for conversation and work while generating income that helps feed their families.
