our journey

Our Story

Saruni Touching Heart's Foundation was founded in 2018 by a group of Kenyan professionals who saw firsthand the challenges faced by orphans and vulnerable children in their communities.

What started as a small initiative providing meals and school supplies to 50 children in Nairobi has grown into a nationwide movement reaching over 2,400 children across 14 counties.

Today, we work with 35 community partners and over 80 volunteers to deliver holistic programs that address the root causes of poverty — from education and health to livelihoods and psychosocial support.
