Welcome to the Help Kenya Project. We are a New York based charity that focuses on helping the children of Kenya. We collect donations of used computers, books clothing, sports equipment, and other supplies and ship them to Kenyan schools and libraries.
In return, we ask that the recipients plant trees to combat deforestation and provide children with a place to rest and play out of the sun.
It’s incredible how valuable the book or computer you might be throwing out is to a Kenyan child.
By providing Kenya’s students with science, English, and computer skills, we give them a much better chance of finding good jobs later in life.
We break the cycle of poverty by helping Kenyans to help themselves. This is charity that truly leaves a lasting impact.

We've had a productive two weeks of work at the Help Kenya Project. In the course of doing recent computer repair work, we have reached a better understanding of our current hardware shortages. The numbers listed on our website have been updated accordingly. Those lists also now include links to the websites we use to buy the parts, if you would like to buy them yourself and send them to us or drop them off.
The volunteer schedule has been updated through July. |

The Help Kenya Project has rented storage space so that we can continue to accept donations as we grow and look for new permanent space. If you had wanted to make a donation earlier this year but where unable to because we did not have the space to store it, please let us know since we are now accepting all used computer donations and all other donations. |
