I took a year off from school in between graduating from my undergraduate program and commencing law school. I had always wanted to travel, to experience another culture, and to help others, for I have lived and continue to live a very blessed life, indeed. I met with Kevin Corcoran, the president of Maji Mazuri USA, to discuss the projects in Nairobi. Over the course of an hour, Kevin told me all about Maji Mazuri. I was enthralled. Two months later, I found myself on a plane to Nairobi for a four month stay in Kenya.

My time in Kenya was life-altering. Accordingly, upon my return to the US, I simply had to share my experiences with others. I began speaking at various events and with church groups in an effort to raise awareness and funds. Recently, I was asked to serve on the board of Maji Mazuri, USA. It is an honor and privilege to work with an organization like Maji Mazuri, but even more so with the people who comprise it.

  • The projects...
    While appreciating the growth in each of the projects since then, of key note is Maji Mazuri Children’s Centre, Kasarani. We have watched as the children have transited from one level to the other, with enduring encouragement from the staff ...one example is a young man who came to the…
