A Community Based Organization (CBO) in Kenya - We Empower Marginalized Communities through Education
Light & Life Ministries is a community-based organization dedicated to advancing children's education in marginalized communities of Northern Kenya. We focus on providing quality education and life skills to children from the Daasanach, El Molo, and Gabra communities, empowering them to live lives of significance and create positive change in their communities.
Our initial program supports five children with comprehensive educational support, with plans to scale up progressively as resources allow. Through strategic partners such as corporate sponsors, and community stakeholders, we aim to create sustainable educational pathways that honor Biblical or Christian principles while opening doors to opportunity.
To inspire, educate and equip children with education and life skills.
Children from marginalized communities in Northern Kenya gaining equal opportunities through education and life skills.
We work with three marginalized communities in Northern Kenya, each with unique challenges and needs.
Often referred to as "The Lost Tribe," the Daasanach have faced severe and sustained droughts for many years, threatening their traditional pastoral lifestyle and limiting educational opportunities for their children.
With just over 1,000 people, the El Molo are Kenya's smallest tribe. This long-marginalized community is slowly being absorbed by their neighbors, making educational interventions crucial for preserving their unique cultural heritage.
The Gabra are a Cushitic ethnic group who mainly inhabit the Moyale and Marsabit regions. Their semi-nomadic lifestyle presents unique challenges for consistent educational access.
Together, we can empower children from marginalized communities to reach their full potential through education and life skills.
