Quick facts about Umoja Partnership Inc

What is Umoja Partnership Inc?
Umoja Partnership Inc is a international publicly-supported charity (509(a)(2)) based in Indianapolis, United States. Umoja Partnership is a partnership of many faiths, from different cultures, on two continents, united in our service to change lives by keeping children in school. Our vision is transforming communities one child at a time.

Primary school children drop out of school or perform poorly because families lack basic necessities; tuition for secondary school is prohibitive for students whose family income often is less than a dollar per day. We have developed a compassionate and comprehensive system of care which responds both to the immediate and long-term needs of these orphans and vulnerable children. Working in partnership with a network of congregations, schools, women's groups, and other health and social service organizations in western Kenya, the Umoja Project provides multiple services which insure uninterrupted education, food security, safe housing, and healthy psychosocial development by supporting children and their families through direct assistance with school fees, school lunches, and services which address basic individual and household needs; building the long-term capacity of families, communities, and local faith-based organizations to sustain support for their children; and strengtheni
