The Crossing Thresholds community has always stepped forward when opportunities arise to deepen our impact in Kibera. This summer, several dedicated volunteers are preparing to travel to Kenya to support our partners on the ground at our schools and community programs. Their presence is a modest financial investment with an outsized return for children, teachers, and families in Kibera.
Because you are part of the Crossing Thresholds community, you know that real change comes from long-term relationships, not one‑time transactions. Our volunteers travel to Kibera to listen, to learn, and to work alongside local leaders - strengthening programs you’ve helped build over many years.
This year, a team of volunteers has committed time, energy, and expertise to serve in Kibera. The single biggest barrier is cost. We are inviting the Crossing Thresholds community to close that gap and fully fund their journeys to Kenya.
