Funding Progress Across Programs
Every contribution brings us closer to expanding our impact. Track the progress of our fundraising efforts across each RFI program as we work together to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity in the lives of those we serve.
We believe lasting change begins by responding to real needs with practical, compassionate solutions. Our programs focus on areas where support can make a meaningful difference from helping vulnerable children remain in school to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness and equipping pastors and community leaders to serve more effectively. Our work continues to grow as we seek new ways to restore dignity, create opportunity, and strengthen communities.
- Keeping Children in School. Opening Doors to Opportunity.
EDUCATION INITIATIVE
For a vulnerable child, education can be the difference between remaining trapped in poverty and having an opportunity to build a better future. RFI Foundation supports children whose families face financial hardship and may struggle to meet the costs associated with education.
Our support may include:
- School sponsorships
- Scholarships
- School fees assistance
- Learning materials and supplies
- Basic educational needs
- Mentorship and encouragement
Our goal is not simply to help a child attend school, but to create an environment where they can remain in school, pursue their potential, and build a better future.
Our Commitment:
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover what they are capable of, regardless of the circumstances into which they were born.
We provide practical support where the need is greatest.

- A Future Vision for Vulnerable Children
CHILDREN'S HOME
RFI Foundation envisions establishing a safe, loving, and nurturing home for vulnerable and abandoned children in Kenya.
The Children’s Home is a future initiative, representing our long-term commitment to creating a secure environment where vulnerable children can grow, learn, and thrive.
We envision a home where children can receive:
- Safe and stable accommodation
- Education
- Nutritious food
- Compassionate care
- Mentorship
- Emotional and spiritual support

This vision will require partnerships, resources, and careful preparation. We look forward to working with individuals, churches, organizations, and other partners to make it possible.
Together, We Can Restore Futures
Every child who remains in school, every person who receives compassionate support, and every leader equipped to serve represents another opportunity for transformation.
