At the end of 2024, Karla and Ulas arrived in Kenya to volunteer. Through local contacts, they met Mwana and were welcomed into the Little Angels community. They quickly saw both the beauty of the school and the challenges it faced: damaged infrastructure, scarce materials, and limited resources.

Inspired by the power of collectivity, they began mobilizing people from across the world — remote volunteers, stable donors, and creative collaborators — each adding their piece to the puzzle.

In 2025, Hearts for Change was born: an organization with 7 seven committed members and a growing community of donors and volunteers. Together, we create spaces where children don’t just survive, but thrive through opportunities and tools forged in between the local community and our global supporters.

Today, Kanamai Trust sustains the foundation; teacher salaries, classrooms, and meals.

Hearts for Change expands the vision by creating inspiring spaces, introducing practical learning tools, and fostering community development rooted in dignity and collaboration.

Our long-term vision goes beyond supporting one school. Together, we are shaping a model of collective education — one that can be recreated across underserved communities.
