Our Story

Nurturing Dreams Since 2022

Founded in 2022, Upendo Kwa Watoto Foundation is a community-based nonprofit organization in Migori County committed to giving orphaned and vulnerable children hope, care, and a brighter future. Through education support, healthcare access, food provision, shelter, and emotional guidance, we work to ensure every child grows in a safe and supportive environment.


At Upendo, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, thrive, and reach their full potential regardless of their background or circumstances. Our programs focus on school fees assistance, regular medical checkups, guardianship support, talent development, mentorship, and life skills training that empower children both academically and socially.
