What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

EDUCATE

Ndoto's student sponsorship program supports the goals of education and discipleship in Kenya. Through Ndoto's grants to Ndoto Kenya, 294 students were sponsored in 2021. These students were enrolled in schools from kindergarten through university level. They received basic school supplies, medical care, and tuition and fees. In 2022, Ndoto launched its own private Christian elementary school on its campus in Kisumu. In 2023, 65 students were enrolled between pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade.

Population(s) Served

Ndoto Kenya employs full-time staff members to care for the students' spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Ndoto Kenya also hosts student retreats, service days, a community church, Bible studies, and more for sponsored students. The Ndoto Community Church is supported through the Sponsorship program, though it is open to the community as well as sponsored students. Ndoto Sports Academy (with its flagship football club) and Ndoto Boxing & Gym are also major community athletic outreach programs, and both include discipleship elements.

Population(s) Served

Ndoto's third objective is development. If people in the community are able to access stable jobs that pay a living wage, then many of the challenges facing the community will disappear. Therefore Ndoto Kenya works to create sustained economic development in two ways: starting businesses directly and providing training and support for existing business leaders in the community. Ndoto has also historically provided small, low-interest entrepreneurial loans to businesspeople within its network. Ndoto Boxing & Gym and Ndoto Academy are the two current entrepreneurial programs within Ndoto.
