What does Mum Cheptoo Foundation do?
We empower children and communities in Kenya through four main programs: menstrual health and dignity for girls, safe spaces and mentorship for boys, mental health and wellbeing support, and community empowerment through education. Our work ensures children can stay in school, pursue their dreams, and access the resources they need to thrive.
How do dignity kits help girls stay in school?
Many girls in rural Kenya miss up to 5 days of school each month due to a lack of menstrual products, leading to poor grades and high dropout rates. Our dignity kits include reusable sanitary pads, underwear, soap, and educational materials about menstrual health. By providing these essentials and breaking the stigma, we help girls attend school confidently every day of the month.
Where does Mum Cheptoo Foundation operate?
We primarily work in rural communities across Kenya, with a focus on underserved areas where access to education, healthcare, and basic resources is limited. Our programs reach schools, community centers, and local organizations in regions where our impact can be most transformative.
Can I donate monthly?
Absolutely! Monthly giving helps us plan better and provide continuous support. You can choose this option on our [Donate] page.
Can I choose where my donation goes?
Yes. On our donation form, you can select a specific cause (e.g., education, food relief, wildlife protection) or choose “where most needed.”

How do I know my donation makes a difference?

Is my personal and payment information secure?
Absolutely! We welcome volunteers who are passionate about youth empowerment and community development. Opportunities include mentoring youth, helping with program delivery, administrative support, fundraising, and community outreach. Please visit our volunteer page or contact us at info@mumcheptoofoundation.org to learn about current opportunities.
What makes your approach to boys' mentorship unique?
Traditional programs often overlook the emotional needs of boys. Our Safe Spaces program creates judgment-free environments where boys can express themselves, process their emotions, build resilience, and learn about healthy masculinity. Through trained mentors and peer support circles, we help boys become compassionate leaders who contribute positively to their communities.
How can schools or organizations partner with Mum Cheptoo Foundation?
We collaborate with schools, NGOs, community organizations, and businesses to expand our reach. Partnership opportunities include hosting programs at your facility, co-sponsoring events, providing in-kind donations, employee volunteering, or funding specific initiatives. Contact us at [partnership email] to discuss how we can work together.
