Community Involvement
engaging our local community
e3kids' passion is to educate students in the U. S. to the common struggles that exist in developing countries with people their age. Helping others discover a vision of becoming a "world changer" is the perfect way to increase involvement, and make lasting change in the lives of vulnerable kids in Kenya. Therefore, e3kids works with schools and organizations to custom fit a project that address real needs they can work towards changing. We desire to impact both sides of the project by supplying a hands-on component everyone can get behind.
e3kids strives to empower students in the U.S. to serve others with purpose by educating them on issues that 75% of the kids living in severe poverty face on a daily basis, and giving them a practical way to equip others by making positive, lasting changes for those less fortunate.
People learn through meaningful contribution
Serving a purpose greater than ourselves.
During the learning phase you are informed about the effects of contaminated water on the health of an individual, the school body and the community. For instance, sadly 3100 children under the age of five die each year in Kenya from the contaminated water. This is easily preventable!
The students are taught about children unable to obtain an education because of the lack of financial resources. As a result, a mere $40 keeps kids from going to school. A family living in extreme poverty makes less than $2 a day, making school unobtainable for their children.
Promoting change & serving others.
During the action phase of the project, students or groups come together to string the Kenyan paper beads into beautiful bracelets. After that, they sell the bracelets to raise funds for The Water Project. Goals are set by the groups, so they can make a life-changing difference for families in Kenya. U.S. groups are changing lives by bringing healing and health through providing clean, palatable water.
The impact made, and becoming a lifelong world changer.
e3kids shares results through pictures, video, sharing life-changing stories, and reporting on the number of people impacted through the groups actions. The group's efforts are changing the lives of Kenyan students and families for the better! We need more world changers, will you join us?
