Who We Are

This Is

 who we are 

At Village Impact, we believe education is the gateway to opportunity and equality—and we’re turning that belief into action. In Kenya, we’re breaking barriers and creating access to quality education where it’s needed most.

Free from political or religious affiliations, we focus on collaboration and global citizenship as the driving forces behind meaningful change. By building strong partnerships, we’re transforming communities and shaping a future where every child can learn, grow, and lead.

This Is

 who we work with 

Partnership is the cornerstone of Village Impact. We collaborate with local communities, leaders, and governments in Kenya to deliver education programs that address real needs with practical, locally driven solutions.

Global changemakers, primarily entrepreneurs, fuel our efforts with funding and innovation, while local expertise ensures solutions are sustainable. Together, we’re creating safe, inspiring spaces where children can dream big and build brighter futures.

This Is

 where we work 

Our work is rooted in Nakuru County, Kenya—a region defined by resilience and recovery. After the devastation of the 2007-2008 election violence, communities here have worked tirelessly to rebuild.

Despite challenges like poverty, limited infrastructure, and strained resources, these communities are rich in determination and potential—ready to thrive with the right support.

 what we do  

Education is the most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty—and that’s where Village Impact steps in. We build schools, equip classrooms, and create safe, nurturing spaces where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Our programs remove barriers that conflict-affected communities face in accessing education. And when obstacles arise, we stay the course, ensuring education continues uninterrupted.

Together, we’re building a future where education transforms lives and empowers generations to rise above poverty, creating sustainable, resilient communities.

But Irene isn’t just about laying bricks. She’s a master connector and fierce advocate with an unmatched network spanning community leaders, government officials, and beyond. Alongside our team, she opens doors, clears hurdles, and ensures every project gets not only the green light but also the full-hearted support it deserves.
