From a student:
"My life has changed a lot including my attitude towards education. In public school I had no hope in life, I found education useless, but when I went to Boarding School my attitude towards education changed."

Giving Activity
Mission
A Colorado-based charity, bringing the Hope of the Gospel to Gitombo, Kenya, through Christ-centered education at PAAV-Gitombo Community School along with transformational ministries.
Background Statement
What started as a Father's dream to give his beloved village clean accessible water became a daughter's mission to transform the village of Gitombo-B, Kenya. In 2000, Wanjiru (Wanji) Mukunga traveled to the United States to study at Denver Seminary where she received a Masters in Divinity. Her thoughts traveled back to Gitombo and the idea of "Project Adopt an African Village" was born. She envisioned a ministry that did not not just provide clean water but improved the impoverished lives of the majority of people in Gitombo.
Since that time, Hope Gitombo has embraced the whole community- beginning with the basics of clean water, food, jobs, books, bible study for the families and a thriving Christian elementary school that educates, empowers and encourages 124 Gitombo-B children.
