Without a strong connection to the people on the ground, our work would not be sustainable and would not bring about lasting change in the regions. We are convinced that change can only be brought about through the local commitment of communities and local people. That is why we work closely with local communities, policy makers, parents and children. Local people contribute to the construction and financing of the projects and thus feel closely connected to them from the outset. In addition, through local involvement we also achieve the participation of the national government, e.g. by covering the labour costs for the teaching staff.

This network is strengthened by our local partner organisations, with whom we have been working together in a spirit of trust for many years. Without this network, the resounding successes would not have been possible. Would you like to find out more about our network? You can find out all about it here:

Kidshare has a network of donors at home and abroad who support our projects financially. Direct contact and personal dialogue are important to us. Because together we can achieve more. Whether private donors, companies, churches, foundations or wealth funds, we involve those affected in our work and make success tangible for everyone. Major donors can, for example, visit the early intervention centre they support and see with their own eyes what their donation achieves. They get to meet the children, talk to the parents and meet the people in charge on site. Become part of this network and let yourself be infected by the enthusiasm and joy of having done something really worthwhile.

We have set ourselves ambitious goals. In our 2026 strategic plan, we have agreed to build a total of 40 kindergartens in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, set up 15 additional primary schools in Kenya and support a total of 100 girls through the Top Girls programme. You can find more information in our full Strategic Plan 2026.

In short, we are raising the bar again at this time. This means that we also need to professionalise and strengthen our organisation. The Kidshare Foundation currently consists of a board of five people who fulfil all tasks. We want to move to a structure in which the board has a stronger supervisory role and the political and executive tasks are in the hands of the management and the operational organisation. In addition, we have decided to establish a German branch, Kidshare Deutschland e.V., to make our organisation more visible in Germany.
In this new structure, we will appoint a (part-time) Operations Manager and a Country Coordinator for each country in which Kidshare is active. In addition, we recognise the need for a board member with responsibility for marketing and communications. If we want to increase our impact in the coming years, we need to attract new donors and get existing donors more involved in our projects. To achieve this, we need to raise our marketing and communication efforts to a higher level. At the same time, we want to set up a fundraising plan by 2022.
