Welcome to Phoenix Tumaini - USA

Education, knowledge and training is an intrinsic part of being human, impossible to eradicate.


PHOENIX TUMAINI -USA – NON-PROFIT  Partnering with Phoenix Tumaini Kenya, we equip disadvantaged youth with the tools for success through comprehensive care and educational opportunities.

We're excited to announce exciting changes for our nonprofit organization. We’re now Phoenix Tumaini Kenya, based in Nairobi, and our U.S. branch is Phoenix Tumaini – USA, Inc. Phoenix Tumaini Kenya became an official non-governmental organization (NGO) in Kenya in July 2024. Following this, Phoenix Tumaini – USA, Inc. was established.

Your support is vital to our mission. We rely on the generosity of individuals and non-profit organizations to continue our work.

We believe education is the key to overcoming adversity and building a more equitable society. To focus on secondary, trade, college, and university education for Kenyan youth, we've made the difficult decision to separate from our primary school, animal husbandry, and farming operations. While our old organization, will continue its undertakings, we're eager to expand our new impact.

My Story - Losing my parents as a young adult profoundly changed my life. The children I met outside Nairobi inspired me to create a brighter future for them.

Phoenix Tumaini is dedicated to providing essential care for abandoned children: food, shelter, education, and now, mental healthcare. We believe in the importance of some family connections, regardless of circumstances. Our goal is to empower these children to thrive and contribute to a diverse, equitable Kenyan society.

Your support is crucial. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible for U.S. residents.

Phoenix Tumaini - USA is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing orphaned and abandoned children in Kenya. We provide essential care, including food, shelter, and education, while working to reunite them with extended family whenever possible.

Africa in our soul

Friends forever

In the spring of 1994, Donna Stimson, Susan Rahn, Sandi Carlile, and Sharon Small embarked on a Gerber Travel Company's Bush Camping trip from North Africa to Kenya. This transformative experience fostered a lifelong bond among the women and ignited a deep connection to Africa. Twenty-four years later, reunited in Kenya, they solidified their friendship and initiated plans to support Sandi's children's home.
