Our impact
Where your sponsorship actually goes.
We don't claim a 100% model. We claim a 15-year one, one school in Nairobi, the same children walking through the same gates every morning, year after year.
1,000+
children educated since 2010
15 yrs
of consistent operations

01 In their own words
The arc is always the same: a child arrives, a child stays, a child becomes.

“I want to be an engineer because I love cars.”
- Where they are
- A student at the Ingrid School in Nairobi, enrolled, in class, learning every day the school year is in session.
- In their own voice
- When I grow up I want to be an engineer because I love cars.
- What sponsorship funds
- Tuition, school meals, uniforms, books, and teachers paid on time, the ordinary things a school year is built from.

The point isn't a single story. It's that the same story has unfolded a thousand times here, quietly, since 2010.
02 Our promise to sponsors
You sponsor a child. You hear from us, on purpose.
A welcome packet
Within a week of your first gift: who you're matched to, what's happening at the school, and how to write back.
Quarterly photo updates
Four times a year, a short field note and new photographs from Nairobi.
A letter each term
Once per term, a hand-written or dictated letter from the child you're matched to.
03 A note on transparency
Live Globally is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (IRS ruling March 2014). EIN 72-1475450. Gifts are tax-deductible.
We do not claim that 100% of your gift reaches the classroom. It can't. Some of it pays for the accountant who keeps us honest, the auditor who keeps us accountable, and the staff member on the ground in Nairobi who checks the school each morning before classes start, that is how we know children showed up. We think that's the right way to run a school, and we'd rather say so plainly than promise something we'd quietly have to walk back.
