Our Structure

Kenyan Kids works through a small group of connected organisations that allow us to support children in different ways. In Kenya, our registered entities are The Familia Foundation and Arc en Ciel Academy. Arc en Ciel Academy is the school we operate day to day, led by our local team, while The Familia Foundation coordinates our wider community projects and programmes such as the Familia Girls Rescue Centre.

Internationally, Kenyan Kids France, Enfants Kenya UK, and Kenyan Kids Norway support fundraising, partnerships and donor engagement, helping connect our work in Kenya with supporters abroad.

Together, these structures allow us to remain closely connected to the communities we serve, while ensuring clear governance, transparency and direct impact for every project we undertake.
