WHY support our projects
Transforming lives in the slums of Korogocho and Dandora, Nairobi Kenya: Join us to make a real difference.
Kenya ranks 146th on the Human Development Index. We operate in the slums of Korogocho and Dandora, some of the most difficult places to live in. The prevalence of AIDS is devastating, affecting primarily women and children at a rate of 60%. Child labor is alarmingly high, with 50% of all children aged from 5 to 14 engaged in work. Many of these children suffer from severe respiratory problems and infections due to their involvement in the Dandora landfill, the largest in Africa. These children and their families represent the most marginalized and vulnerable individuals, enduring the harshest circumstances.
Together, we have the power to change their lives. Through the construction of schools, healthcare facilities, and our unwavering commitment, we have already brought comfort to over 3,000 children and young adults. Join us in this impactful journey of transitioning lives in the slums of Korogocho and Dandora.
Partner with us through concrete projects.

The fiscal advantages
Disclaimer: For Italian companies, kindly refer to the information in the paragraph below.
For non-Italian companies, it is advisable to consult with tax professionals who are familiar with the relevant tax laws and regulations in both jurisdictions, including your home country. For example, in the United States, depending on specific requirements based on applicable tax laws, companies can potentially receive tax benefits by supporting an international non-governmental organization. Research and explore the tax breaks and benefits that may be available for supporters of NGOs in your country.
The following information is in regards to fiscal advantages in Italy:
Thanks to the reform of the Third Sector, as of January 1, 2018, there are more tax benefits for supporters of non-profit organizations, Voluntary Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, and Social Cooperatives.
Tax breaks for cash donations:
Companies can deduct the amount donated up to 10% of declared income, without the 70,000 euro cap provided until 2017.
Unlike the previous regime, however, it is allowed, again within the 10% limit, to carry over any unused surplus until the fourth subsequent year (pursuant to Art.83 Dlgs 117/2017 of 3/7/17 paragraph 2).
The deductions provided for in Art.100 c.2 T.U.I.R remain in place and therefore it is still possible to deduct 100% of donations not exceeding 30,000 euros in favor of ONLUS, while donations exceeding 30,000 euros can be deducted up to 2% of the declared business income (Art.100 paragraph 2 T.U.I.R, letter h D.P.R. 917/86)
Tax benefits for non-monetary donations:
Companies can deduct the value of the donated asset up to 10% of the total declared income.
The Decree of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy of November 28, 2019 in implementation of Article 83, Paragraph 2 of the Legislative Decree of 3/07/17 identifies the types of goods that entitle to tax deduction or deduction from the taxable base for income tax purposes, and establishes the criteria and methods of valuing goods that can be the subject of liberal donations in kind.
