Maisha Project Maisha Project empowers people in Kenya to transform their communities. Maisha is the Swahili word for “LIFE”. That girl went on to do great things.

It started with a girl who received a sponsorship for education at the age of 9 in a small village in Kenya. She is Maisha founder Beatrice Williamson and her desire is to give others that same opportunity for education and a "hand up." The mission of Maisha is to transform lives and empower communities by providing lasting solutions to address poverty, hunger, disease and under-education. We accomplish that through projects such as Legacy of Hope education sponsorships, feeding, empowerment/micro-finance, HIV/AIDS care/education and more. Maisha ignites the passion in all of us to DO SOMETHING! As you engage with "The Maisha Story", you begin to realize the potential in yourself to rise above to create a brighter future, just as Beatrice did. We invite you to become part of the Maisha Story today! Here, you'll see updates of our progress in Kenya, find out about local Oklahoma events, volunteer opportunities, mission dates and be blessed with heartwarming stories. You help us raise awareness by sharing posts with your circle of influence. We'd love to hear your Maisha Story!

🌍🍛Today is World Food Day! And for thousands of children in Kenya, a simple meal is making a world of difference.

At Maisha Project, we’re feeding more than 9,600 children every day. But it’s about so much more than filling empty stomachs.

It’s helping children stay in school, focus on learning, grow stronger, and dream bigger. 🥣📚

And here’s something pretty incredible: For just 63 cents a day, you can help put food on a child's plate and hope in their future.

❤️ Feed a child. Fuel a future.

Roger Godwin has been part of the Maisha family for years. He’s one of our biggest champions, a faithful supporter, and someone who’s actually traveled to Kenya to see the impact of our work firsthand. ❤️

So when Roger talks about why our Light the Future Gala matters, he speaks from the heart.

Take a minute to hear why he believes showing up for this special night makes such a difference.

✨ It’s our biggest event of the year, and yes, we have A LOT of fun! But what makes this night truly special is what happens because of it. Every seat filled helps us continue changing lives and creating brighter futures for children and families in Kenya.

Look what’s growing at Maisha! 🌱🍍

We’re excited to share some progress from our new partnership with Seed Programs International (SPI)!

Our agriculture team has begun planting pineapples and growing new seedlings in our nursery, thanks to SPI’s support in helping us expand and diversify what we grow at our farm and regenerative agroforestry training center.

And these little seedlings have some BIG potential!

Here’s what this partnership could help make possible:

🌱 Nearly 20,000 kg of nutritious fruits and vegetables harvested.

🥣 Enough produce for approximately 97,500 child-meal equivalents.

👩🏾‍🌾 More hands-on agricultural training, giving people practical skills to grow food, support their families, and build more sustainable futures.

It’s exciting to see how one partnership can help us grow more food, nourish more children, and create opportunities that reach far beyond the farm.

Thank you, SPI, for helping us plant the seeds for a healthier, more sustainable future! 💚🌍

Today is World Egg Day and we’re celebrating a partnership rooted in a shared commitment to improving nutrition and creating lasting opportunities for children and communities in Kenya. 🤝🙌

Over the past year, The Maisha Project has had the privilege of working alongside the International Egg Foundation (IEF), whose leadership, expertise, and encouragement have helped us explore a sustainable approach to local egg production.

Why eggs?

One large egg provides approximately six grams of high-quality protein, alongside essential nutrients such as choline, vitamin D, and zinc that support healthy growth, brain development, bone health, and immune function.

Together with IEF, we are excited to explore a poultry initiative that could strengthen school meals, provide practical agricultural training for young people, and support long-term sustainability through local egg production and sales.

As we welcome IEF representatives to Kisumu this World Egg Day weekend, we are grateful for the relationship we have built and enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

Happy World Egg Day! 🥚
This year's theme—Protein That Powers and Protects—reflects the importance of nutrition in building healthier futures.

Good things happen when we come together. 🤝

We loved welcoming members of The Rotaract Club of Kisumu Winam to Maisha!

It was a wonderful day of connection, conversation and exploring ways we can work together to strengthen health initiatives in the communities we serve.

Some of the best partnerships begin with a shared heart for making a difference. 🌍❤️

We’re excited about what the future may hold!
