Orphaned Children. Remarkable Care.

Flying Kites seeks to raise the standards of care available to the world's poorest children. We are a non-profit organization that strives to give these children the tools they will need – education, imagination, and resolution - to succeed in and contribute to a complex and changing world. We will prepare them to impact their societies through our emphasis on compassion, advocacy, and leadership.

Flying Kites is an organization concerned with helping vulnerable children around the world. Currently, we are building The Flying Kites Leadership Academy, a home and school for abandoned, abused and orphaned children in Kenya. Located at the foot of the Aberdares Mountains, our center has become home to many children in need.

Our goal is to affect change in development practice on a global scale. To ensure sustainability as we replicate our model around the world, we have developed a series of innovative programs that fund our projects and further our mission.

We will not compromise on our commitment to excellence.
