We are generation resilience.

The children of Maisha Project.

A whole new era of confident, unstoppable young people, educated, equipped and empowered to regenerate their futures, their communities, their entire nation.

Everyone says that children are the future. But that future has to be seeded, grown, and raised.

We’ve been doing that for almost 20 years. It’s harvest time.

The story of Maisha

And a little child shall lead them.

Maisha Project was started by a woman who was one of the same children she now helps.



At age 9, a chance moment transformed the fate of young Beatrice Williamson, from hardship in a struggling Kenyan village to the opportunity to study in America.



Many years later, she returned to her village, to plant the same DNA of resilience in the next generation.

From feeding a few abandoned children in 2007...

… to state-of-the-art agriculture that feeds and heals, youth leadership programs, microloans to entrepreneurs and so much more, Maisha Project has quietly grown into a proven model of self-sustaining success.

We're quiet no more.

The model

The movement

and the moment

are here.

Help Maisha Project sow confidence and grow leaders with Generational Resilience - Kenya's best hope,

Make a generational change.

You've heard of teaching a man to fish? Watch what happens when you teach a child to plant.

Moringa is the “miracle plant” that's as resilient as our people. It loves hot sun, needs next to no water, and can resist the harshest climates.

But Moringa isn’t just a source of food and medicine. It’s the foundation of a world-class model of advanced agroforestry that we are innovating right now – a model that Generation Resilience will spread like the mighty Moringa itself.

Breaking generational poverty starts with our children.

We are not just a set of projects.
We are a community that is helping plant a generation of planners.
