Get involved with Little Lions
There are so many ways that you can directly impact the life of a Little Lion. We welcome donations, ambassadors, story tellers, mentors and champions who help our children and teachers feel supported and inspired.


Your generosity fuels everything we do — from classrooms to meals to safe spaces. One-time or monthly, every donation creates impact.

Share your time, skills, and compassion through on-the-ground or remote volunteer programs. Every hand helps.
“ I’m so glad that I came to visit, my week working with the team, from the kitchens through to the art and dance classes was the absolute highlight of my time in Kenya. One day I hope to host you in Japan!” - Wata, @we_are_friend_s

Meaningful days with Little Lions followed by guided travel across Kenya - a balance of connection, learning, volunteering, rest and adventure.

Turn birthdays, school projects, or community events into impact. We’ll support you every step of the way.

We encourage our children to think outside the slum, and engage with a world beyond poverty. Our one-on-one penpal programs, or larger class exchanges, gives both sides a new perspective and are deeply rewarding for all the children.

“I was deeply moved by my first visit to Little Lions, struck by the extraordinary strain of every day life in Kibera, and the antidote to that suffering that is the brilliant team at Little Lions. This is a project that truly matters, and I’m delighted to continue to sponsor their efforts”

You can support us in many ways: by making a donation, sponsoring a child, volunteering your time, or sharing our mission with others. Visit our Get Involved page to see all the ways you can make an impact.
Your involvement is as best suits you and fits your schedule, everything from hosting fundraising dinners, doing group calls with the team and potential sponsors, posting or re-posting about us.
Whatever works for you, as little or as much as you like.
We'll connect you or your child(ren) to a child or group of children, and we can then communicate by post or email as you see fit. We currently have a program running with a school in Chicago where the teacher is making little films with the class that they share with us in Notion and we then share back.
The goal is to create connection, understanding and partnership. Everything is directed by the children's curiosity.
