Partnering with communities to deliver on their needs and priorities.
Partnerships
At the Japhet Family Foundation, we believe that meaningful, lasting change happens when we work together. That’s why our approach combines the strength of our own initiatives with the deep-rooted expertise of trusted partners already making a difference in Kenya.
We focus on projects that directly address the needs of young people—whether through scholarships, school infrastructure, or community development. At the same time, we seek to collaborate with established NGOs, grassroots organizations, and local leaders who share our mission and values. These partnerships will allow us to reach more communities, respond to local priorities, and build on existing momentum.
By blending direct action with strategic collaboration, we’re able to expand access to education, create economic opportunities, and foster hope for a brighter future. Every project we support—whether led by us or by our partners—is guided by a shared vision: a Kenya where every young person has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
Community Projects
-
Vitengeni Well Project
In January 2023, we drilled a well in Vitengeni, a small rural community in Kilifi County, near Kenya's coast. This well now provides families with fresh water, eliminating the need for long, exhausting journeys to access clean water. It also supports small-scale farming through reliable irrigation.
-
Rabai
In 2025, we are expanding our efforts to Rabai, Kenya, a village in Kilifi County and the childhood home of our foundation's namesake, Japhet Kiti. This community-driven initiative will focus on addressing the most urgent needs identified by the residents themselves. Whether it’s building a primary or secondary school, a community center, a library, or other critical resources, your support will help empower Rabai to create a brighter future.

Farming
In many rural areas of Kenya, access to economic opportunity remains limited. At the Japhet Family Foundation, we’re working to change that—by investing in sustainable agriculture as a pathway to prosperity.
Through partnerships with local farms, we are setting up hands-on training, creating employment opportunities, and working to establish demonstration sites that will showcase farming practices. These initiatives are designed to empower individuals and communities to build lasting livelihoods.
By the local community with the tools, knowledge, and support they need, we’re helping to cultivate more than crops—we’re cultivating resilience, independence, and hope for the future.
