We are three sisters who wanted to organize a group of women that would find different projects that we could donate our time and money to. Our intention was to spend 6 months with a charity in the United States then 6 months with something internationally.
We were told about Jenni and Jason and their dream for the Daraja Academy through a mutual friend. The moment we met with Jenni and Jason we knew we had found our cause. We felt we were getting our local and international group all in one. They are from our area in California and their school is in Kenya; the perfect match!
We started out as The Giving Circle and have since changed our name to The Daraja Giving Circle. We have held charity events, luncheons and teas helping raise money and spreading the word about the amazing work the academy is doing to bring education to girls that would never have the chance to advance in the world. The fact that so many different tribes are under the same roof living as sisters while their tribes our fighting outside the walls of Daraja. The fact that they are learning to live together, solve problems together and love each other as family will alter our world. It is this kind of caring and supportive school that will stop war, hunger, overpopulation, lack of education and the list goes on and on.
These amazing young women will grow up knowing how important an education is and will pass that onto their children. The education they are receiving will help them go out into world and not only be able to cope but cure so many of the worlds problems.
Our loyalty runs very deep with Daraja. This is a very special and magical place that transforms not only the students but anyone involved with this program. We urge you to invest in this amazing school as you will not only be helping in a life changing program but you will find more joy then you know when you start getting to know the girls, Jenni, Jason, and the staff of Daraja.
