About
Restore Humanity is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based n Fayetteville, Arkansas that operates humanitarian and educational programs in Kenya. We have two complementary programs, that together, constitute our primary focus: the JCO Children's Home and our RH Scholars Programs.
The JCO Children's Home is a ‘home' in every sense of the word. We do not allow adoption. We are their family and care for them in every way we can, as they’re solely dependent on us. We cover all of their educational and medical needs and provide 3 balanced meals every day in a safe, supportive, comfortable place to live. We assume all responsibility for our kiddos from the day we get them until they finish high school, after which time they will join either our RH Scholar Program, which fully funds whichever form of post-secondary education is most appropriate to each child (e.g. trade school, technical school or a four-year university in Kenya or at the University of Arkansas).
We also have a few Outreach Programs in the community where our Children's Home is located:
-
Our Early Childhood Development (ECD) Program helps to prepare 3-6 year olds for primary school with classes taught in both English and Luo (the local tribal language) while simultaneously providing high quality childcare for many working moms.
-
Attending high school in Kenya requires the payment of school fees and can be expensive to the point of being cost-prohibitive for many parents. Local principals and teachers work with us through our Secondary School Scholarship Program to identify those students who are the most in need of financial assistance and we pay for some (or all) of their fees.
-
We also have a Maxi-Pad Program which provides a year's worth of Maxi-Pads to 500 girls at the local primary and secondary schools.
-
We occasionally collaborate with with local leadership in the village on infrastructure projects. We've helped to build additional classrooms and dormitories for local schools and a maternity ward for the local health clinic.
