I am passionate about creating change and being kind, and this is what I AM HESHIMA is doing: changing lives by providing permanent tools of change (Education) to those who would not have achieved otherwise. I AM HESHIMA is building a holistic child by loving and nurturing children. Spreading love and change to all parts of the world, albeit changing one household at a time, one child at a time, until we achieve a better world by EDUCATING, EMPOWERING, and ELEVATING.

I am thrilled to work at I Am Heshima because I see the incredible impact its support has on children's lives. Helping overcome barriers and achieve their dreams through education, mentoring, and health education is deeply rewarding. Being part of such transformative work fills me with joy and pride.

"I am honoured to have joined I am Heshima! The first time I spoke to Lexis and the team I was struck by how much they have been able to do concretely on the ground with little resources.

But what struck me the most was probably Lexis’ sense of wanting to and having created a team she trusts and who trusts her. I love the vision behind I am Heshima and how this is translated into actions which have a direct and very tangible impact on the children we serve."

We are a grassroots organization where our small donations are making a huge difference in a child's life.

Education is essential, without is there not much hope.  I am Heshima = Hope & so much more.The kids best interests always come first.  I am a true believer in Heshima's philosophy.

I see potential in tiny humans. Creating systems & a team which empowers kiddos to see it within themselves is what I live for.  This ambitious vision is backed by 15 years of experience in Non-Profit Leadership and a degree in International Development

I am dedicating my life to this movement and its children. It takes a whole community to raise a child. This is our community and these are our children. Welcome to the movement! 

Joining I Am Heshima aligns perfectly with my belief in the transformative power of education. I decided to be a part of this organization because I believe that by promoting mental health and emotional resilience of the young people, we can contribute to their personal growth, academic success and overall well-being.

I hold a degree in Bsc. (Counseling Psychology) from Moi University and have close to 5 years of experience. I am more than excited to be a part of a team that shares my commitment to creating a positive and nurturing environment for the next generation. 

"I am looking forward to assisting ‘I am Heshima’ in surpassing their missions to better children’s educational needs through innovative and strategic ways."

I'm proud of I am Heshima and its accomplishments!

I have been involved in this movement since its beginning and my most important contribution has been to support people that have such a passion and talent to accomplish our goals.

I met Lexis on a plane journey from Montreal to London and was impressed by her passion and I am Heshima’s mission to increased access to education. I was born in South Africa and have spent time working in Africa during my career where I witnessed first hand the benefits education and employment can have not only at an individual level but also for the broader community. As Chair of the organisation, it is my personal mission to significantly increase the number of children we are serving and to increase the scope of our work in Kenya and beyond.

I am a strong believer that education is the key to unlocking the potential in children everywhere.

I have worked with different vulnerable communities to guarantee their access to education and have witnessed how giving them a fair opportunity allows them to thrive.

I believe that children everywhere deserve to be loved and nurtured.  I Am Heshima is doing this in Kenya one child at a time.  

The work I Am Heshima is doing to protect and educate is impressive and I want to help it grow and expand its reach.

I got involved with Heshima in my university years, and now, just about 11 years later, I am still amazed at the accomplishments this grassroots organization & the youth participants have achieved together.

As a board member, I am able to offer insight into child development and social impact.
