Dr. Vincent Muli-Kituku, Chairman & President

Dr. Kituku grew up watching his mother, in Kangundo, Kenya, provide food and clothes to people suffering from mental illness and those with delayed mental and physical development. His father also let some of those people stay at his store overnight, especially during the rainy seasons. While at Tala High School, Vincent was involved with adult literacy where he taught senior citizens counting, basic ABCs and how to write their names.

Those childhood observations and boyhood involvements in other people’s well-being have become Dr. Kituku’s pillars as he helps people from all over the world. His family has provided financial support to children in the Holy Land and Africa through international programs over the years. They provide tuition, food, water, shelter and medical help for relatives and strangers, especially those who have lost their husband and father. Dr. Kituku organizes schools and church groups to sponsor specific projects with 100% of contributions devoted to the projects.

However, the many brilliant high school students who are orphans or children of widows or from poverty stricken families have touched Vincent. He knows the solution for these students is to have an education. Yet many are out of school because they simply can’t afford the $500 per year average tuition and fees needed to attend high school.

Vincent who has lived in the USA since 1986 says, "How could I be blind to the suffering of the mother of six who hanged herself because she could not afford to pay tuition for her daughter to attend high school?

How was I supposed to live knowing one of Kenya’s college bright stars, an orphan whose parents were claimed by AIDS, was at home languishing because he cannot afford $200/semester to continue his university education?

Or how could I erase the emptiness I experienced with pastor Kiseve and his wife when we visited a single mother whose son had been sent home from school for lack of Ksh.8,000 ($105) needed for his high school senior year exam fees and tuition."

His question for the mother was, "What are you to do?" "Nothing" was her only response.

That was a defining moment for Dr. Kituku. He realized that if he did "Nothing" there are orphans and children of widows who will not have a future. The orphans and children of widows are being left behind because of lack of school tuition.
