Maisha Project

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 acco

mplish 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!

What’s happening on the Maisha Syntropic Agroforestry farm is already changing lives far beyond the land itself. 🌱❤️

In this update, Byron Austin Founder of FOOD-FORESTRY.com (and consultant to this project) chats with our farm managers about the incredible impact this land is already having in Kenya — and honestly, we’re just getting started. 🇰🇪

There’s something special about watching sunlight hit the windows of a hospital that used to exist only in conversations, prayers, and sketches. ❤️🏥

Now the walls are getting painted.
The glass windows are going in.
And it actually feels alive.

There is still work to do. Still a journey ahead.
But wow—it’s becoming something beautiful.

As we move closer to celebrating 20 years of Maisha, we can’t help but look back in awe. ❤️

What began with a few meals shared under a tree for some hungry children in our village—has grown into a movement impacting thousands of lives across Kenya every single day.

Children are being fed. Students are being educated. Families are accessing healthcare. Communities are being empowered to build stronger futures from within.

None of this happened because of one person. It happened through God’s faithfulness and through people who chose to believe that change was possible.

What once felt impossible is now standing right in front of us.

Take a look at what your partnership has helped make possible. 🌍🇰🇪

It’s because of partners like YOU, that the children we are serving are not just surviving—they’re thriving, and filled with hope for the future. 🌍🇰🇪

What started as a dream… is coming to life, one day at a time. ❤️🏥🇰🇪

Every new door and window being fitted into the Maisha Hospital is a reminder that hope is no longer just imagined here… it’s becoming real for thousands of families across Kisumu East.

This hospital is being built through the hard work, faith, and hands of the local community — and through the incredible generosity of friends and supporters like YOU.

Because of your partnership, life-saving healthcare is getting closer every single day.

Something powerful is growing at the Maisha farm. 🌱🇰🇪

And it’s so much bigger than agriculture.

Every day, our team is helping turn this land into a living source of nourishment, training, opportunity, and long-term hope for families across Kisumu East.

Through our syntropic agroforestry initiatives, we’re:
🍽️ Providing thousands of nutritious school meals straight from the farm
🌳 Launching transformational projects like our Million Tree Moringa Campaign
🎓 Equipping youth with hands-on vocational training in agribusiness and agroforestry
🐓 Building long-term community resilience through farming, aquaculture, poultry, and nutrition-based enterprises

Our vision is simple:
Healthy land.
Healthy people.
Stronger futures. ❤️
