Over the last 25 years Maji Mazuri has successfully accomplished the audacious mission of alleviating poverty by empowering people to bring about change in their own lives. The organization is transforming lives, connecting people, and inviting participation from every corner of the globe.

Wanjiku Kironyo, Founder of Maji Mazuri, believes its about the power of people like us to do extraordinary things. People like us change the world, one life at a time. People like us fund it, one donation at a time. It's proof of our collective potential to make a global impact.

In January of 2010 with the help and hearts of the people in the Comox Valley and surrounding areas on Vancouver Island, our friends and family, we sent $2500 to Maji Mazuri. This Christmas we have fundraised again, and another cheque will greet them in January 2011.

Wanjiku has been my inspiration from the first day I met her. Under her courageous leadership and against all odds, Maji Mazuri organization has morphed into the epiphany of hope in a desolate place.
