Please bear in mind that sponsorship is a longer term commitment.

While you can end your payments any time we request sponsors to think in terms of 2 to 4 years of support for the sake of the children.

How does sponsorship work?

It is very straightforward. Simply fill out the registration form.

We decide together which child you will be sponsoring.

You can make your pledge and donate online, send a regular check to Maji Mazuri USA  or set up a regular electronic transfer from your bank account to ours.

Maji Mazuri USA is registered with the IRS as a non profit public charity and we will issue tax receipts for your donations at the end of each year. 100% of the money you send us is sent directly to Maji Mazuri Kenya and is spent on the project that is caring for the sponsored children; Maji Mazuri Head Start project in  Mathare Valley, the Children’s Center, Elementary School or Upper Matasia School.

Maji Mazuri USA is staffed by volunteers who accept no remuneration.

What do I receive as a sponsor?

• A photograph and profile of the child that you have agreed to sponsor.
• A new photograph and profile every year.
• At least 2 reports each year telling you how your child is developing in terms of health, education and maturity.
• The opportunity to send letters or cards to your child (but no gifts or extra money, please, in the interest of fairness to other children)
