We believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Although education is a universal human right, far too many children are still denied access to it.
This injustice is the status quo we are committed to
shaking and transforming one young leader at a time.
THE
HESHIMA WAY
Our model: Providing young leaders with ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS from primary to University molding a holistic human being.

Abandoned and homeless at the age of 10, the streets became my home. It’s also where my twin died beside me. I went back to school and graduated in the top 5% of the nation’s primary school students. Now, I’m in a national high school and at the top of my class. I mentor and mold younger Heshima students. When I make it, I will help more children than Heshima does.
MEDRICK ~ Heshima secondary student
It is not what we do for our children,
but what we have taught them to do for themselves,
that will make them
successful human beings.
