Alice Visionary Foundation Project

Alice Visionary Foundation Project We do this by educating children and empowering women and girls. AVFP is also a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) in the United States since 2009.

As a Christian organization, we assist the most vulnerable in understanding and achieving their full potential in order to become agents of change in their communities. Alice Visionary Foundation Project (AVFP) is an International Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) registered with the Kenya government under the NGO Coordination Board since September of 2010. The organization’s mission is to impro

ve the quality of life of the disadvantaged and most vulnerable through education, poverty reduction, gender equality and to promote peace and justice. The project’s vision is to care for and support the disadvantaged and most vulnerable by improving their quality of life. Founded in March 2005, the project addresses its mission through coordination and linkage of efforts by working together with various agencies and with the Kenyan government to tackle various issues affecting the community. AVFP was co-founded by Beldina Opiyo, who had attended university in the United States. Overwhelmed by the number of orphans and vulnerable children she was already trying to assist through a small feeding program, Beldina met with family members to develop a formal organization that would meet greater needs of her community. They discussed the vision that their late parents had, particularly their late mother “Mama Alice”, who had started to serve God by helping the needy and the vulnerable in her village. They began in Amilo Village/Muhoroni District for AVFP lacked the resources to serve on such a grand scale at that time. Since Amilo was home to Beldina Opiyo and her family, it was easier to start there and identify the immediate needs of the village. After an initial survey by AVFP volunteers in Amilo Village, they realized not only was there a great need to feed the children, but also the overwhelming number of Orphans and Vulnerable Children who lacked family support and funds for education. In late 2005, Beldina met Sandra Rader (co-founder) while attending church near the university. Sandy also felt God’s call to “help in Africa”. Being inspired by her mother Jane, who worked with missions, she joined forces with Beldina and began raising funds, in honor of her mother, to educate the many orphans and vulnerable children in this region. At the end of 2014, AVFP was approached by WomenStrong International (WSI) about taking over the management of Millennium Cities Initiative Groups Savings and Loan (GS & L) groups in the Manyatta slums of Kisumu, as the project was closing. With the support of WSI since that time, AVFP has expanded not only in the economic empowerment of women through the GS & L groups, but strives to empower women and girls through clubs and meetings on many basic educational needs, safety needs and injustices reported to AVFP by our participants. These trainings include Gender Based Violence (GBV), Life Skills, Children/Girls and Women’s Human Rights, Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting training, Career Counseling, Health Education and much more. As AVFP listens to those it serves and continues to expand to meet those needs, the organization transforms not only the communities in which its participants live, but empower them to become tomorrow’s leaders.

ALPHONSE’S STORY

Alphonse was one of our High School Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVC) who just graduated on October 17, 2025, from Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Extension Services and Entrepreneurs.

A LETTER FROM ALPHONSE

Dear Madam Beldina, the Board of AVFP, Esteemed Donors, and Global Supporters,

With profound humility and tears of gratitude, I write this message to thank Alice
Visionary Foundation Project (AVFP) for being a turning point in my life.

Before your intervention, my educational journey was marked by immense hardship, rejections, broken promises, and painful disappointments, even from those I called family. The dream of completing my high school education seemed to drift further out of reach each day. But just when all hope was waning, AVFP stepped into my life like a divine answer to silent prayers.

Through your full scholarship, you gave me more than an education, you gave me a lifeline, a renewed identity, and the strength to dream again. Madam Beldina, your compassion and vision have changed lives. To the AVFP board members, your dedication is unmatched. And to the distinguished teams and sponsors, your generosity is written not just in records, but in the hearts of students like me.

I stand today, proud and empowered, not just for myself, but on behalf of every student whose life AVFP has touched. We walk with our heads held high because of you. Your impact transcends borders and generations.

May God richly bless AVFP. May He expand your territory, bring divine financial breakthroughs, and keep your vision alive for generations to come.

With overflowing gratitude,
Alphonse

While our OVC are on school break for the Holidays, we were able to organize and facilitate a Community Volunteer Activity for a 92 year-old widow in Amilo Village. Some of the activities included slashing the compound (mowing the lawn with a machete), landscaping, sweeping, laundry, and cleaning the house. A small kitchen garden was also made.
