ABOUT US
We envision a world where every family has the opportunity to thrive.
Our Mission
Every family deserves the opportunity to thrive, but 1 in 3 people across Africa are still living in extreme poverty. This reality impacts equal access to the basic human needs like nutrition, education, and housing.
We provide care for vulnerable children across Africa through collaboration with global and local leaders. Assisting with essential needs gives children and families more opportunities to exit cycles of poverty and build thriving communities.
Our Origin Story:
In 2005, we met a 12-year-old girl in Sub-Saharan Africa. Orphaned by the HIV/AIDS crisis, she had become the head of her household and cared for her younger siblings.
The one thing she wanted more than anything else in the world was a safe home for her family. Because of people like you, that dream came true.
“Ten Thousand Homes” was born from a moment of audacious hope: What if we could do this for 10,000?
Building Futures & Homes.
What started as one simple housing project became a mission to care for the most vulnerable across Africa and ensure that every child and family has the opportunity to thrive.
Ten thousand has never been a target, but a declaration. For the founding team of 3, reaching 10,000 people seemed impossible and served as a daily reminder that it couldn’t be done alone. From day one, collaboration has been vital.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with some of Africa’s most inspiring leaders and thousands of passionate individuals like you from all across the globe. Together, we’ve reached over 22,000 individuals with hope, home, and belonging.
Today, Ten Thousand Homes continues to collaborate with leaders across Africa to ensure that the most vulnerable have the care they need to thrive. We currently have partners in Kenya, South Africa, and Eswatini. These leaders know the needs of their communities and are positioned to build long-term impact. We support them with relationship, accountability, and funding to meet essential needs for vulnerable children – provided through the generosity of people like you.
Together, we’re building a world where every child and family can thrive. We’d love for you to join us.
