We are a team of nine humanitarian enthusiasts driven by empathy and passion on a mission to help
transform
the lives of
children in need. Our story began in 2017 during our volunteering in Kitale, Kenya, where we
witnessed
the
tremendous
suffering of so many children who were living in extreme poverty, were orphans, out of school, many
of
whom
HIV infected and
some on the very brink of starvation. All of this touched us profoundly and motivated us to take
action.
We could not forget the love we had received in Kitale, so with the help of our dear friends who
encouraged
us, we founded
Circle of Love.
Our goal was to raise awareness and seek support within our community by providing sponsorships and
donations. Soon, help
started pouring in and more than 60 children received sponsorship and started education in local
schools,
where they will
not only have the opportunity to learn and pursue their dreams but will also be provided protection
and
guidance, as well as
daily meals, medical and other necessary care.
Through various donations, we also raised additional funds for the construction of 5 new classrooms
that
will be a safe
haven for the children.
We are proud to say that all of this has been achieved in just 2
months,
but
it would not be
possible without cooperation with a local Kenyan humanitarian organization Global Steps and its
founders
Godfrey Ogoma and
his wife Joyce, whose dedicated and hard work has been an inspiration to us from the very
start.
We believe this is just the beginning, help us do even more by supporting us!

Along with annual and monthly sponsorships for education, donations are essential for providing care for
vulnerable
children, their families and caregivers. Donations ensure the coverage of basic living expenses such as
housing costs, food,
clothing and footwear, school material and medical care and also provide means of funding for major projects
such as
building and renovating homes for poor families, reconstructing and expanding school facilities etc. The
engagement of all
members of Circle of Love is solely voluntary. Our job is simply to ensure that your donation, in its full
amount and as
soon as possible, reaches those in need.
Donate and change lives of children in Kitale!
Becoming a sponsor is a transforming experience both for the child and the sponsor. Providing the opportunity for education through sponsorships is at the very core of our mission, since we believe and have witnessed first hand that education is the only way these children and their families can break the cycle of poverty.
We provide underprivilidged children, who are often hungry, not going to school and without parental care, the opportunity in achieving thier dreams by enrolling them in schools, where they get education, a warm meal and necessary guidance. Become a sponsor and make a difference in a child's life by giving them a happier and healthier childhood.
Our vision is to cooperate with the poorest schools in a chosen area, where children don't have necessary tools and resources or an acceptable learning environment. We ensure they have pencils, pens, notebooks and other study material.
Many of the children we met are HIV infected, suffering from tuberculosis, malaria or
malnutrition.
By individual donations we are able to take them to hospital where they can receive a proper medical
care and
well-balanced nutrition, which will enable them to recover completely.
