Become a PenPal

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”

Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers

Do I need to sponsor a child to become an Ambassador?

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.

What kinds of advocacy can I choose from?

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.

How much time does it take?

Whatever works for you, as little or as much as you like.

How does the penpal program work?

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.

Is this program child-safe?

The goal is to create connection, understanding and partnership. Everything is directed by the children's curiosity.
