Social Cause
Touch a Heart through our Services and Donations
01
Children's Homes.
In our brand, we believe in Social causes, and we have chosen supporting Children’s homes as our Social cause. We do this by helping them to cater to their basic needs such as Food, Water, Clothing, Shelter, and Education. We fund the program by setting aside 10% of our generated income to supporting the cause. Another source of income for funding the project is through donations which we receive from donors and well wishers.
In our website we provide various services such as content writing, social media marketing, web design and seo. These are paid services that we offer to our clients for optimizing their digital presence to build a strong online presence for their brands. This is where we deduct 10% of the full amount and channel it towards our social cause of supporting children’s homes, which is added to the donations received. So these two sources complement each other and helps us in achieving our goal of adding value to the society.

Human Basic Needs.
Children face various challenges while they grow up. The environment in which they grow up impacts their future. So they must find a healthy environment in which they can find time and space to fully develop. Some have found this kind of environment in Children’s homes. This is where they find love, protection and other children they can relate to. That is why we chose this social cause as our focus in empowering children.
Established children’s homes have well planned programmes and systems for providing healthy environments that fosters positive growth and change. These are places where children can develop positive charcaters and build on positive traits. Most of these homes are supported through donations and contributions of well wishers. That is where we participate with our social cause to empower the children.
03
Our Social Cause.
Our task is to provide such an environment by allowing them to have access to basic human needs. This is access to food, clean water, good clothing, a comfortable shelter, and a good education, both formal education and self-education. We are working with well managed children’s homes so that we can ensure that our donations are used for the purpose related to our social cause.
Our mission is to be a positive force in these children’s lives. It is to allow them to be like any other children in the world even if they are in Children’s homes. We want them to find love and acceptance. We don’t want them to feel different or less privileged in society. That is why this social cause in close our hearts. We also give our clients and the people who love our content to participate in the cause through donations which they can make towards the cause.

Children Statistics
According to UNICEF’s report “Children on The Brink 2019”, it is estimated that about 140 Million children are living in unstable housing conditions or without a permanent home.
In another report by UNICEF “The State of the World’s Children 2021”, they estimated that about 8 million children live in institutional care or foster care settings due to abandonment, neglect, or abuse.
It was also noted that disruption in schooling is more experienced by homeless children. This results in lower academic achievement and higher dropout rates compared to their housed peers. This is according to “Education under Attack” by UNICEF.

How we run our program
We run our program by buying items in bulk and making them available to these children’s homes. We are taking care of their bills such as rental, electricity, and utility bills. Then we only work with well managed children’s homes for order and record keeping. Right now we are working with one home and our plan is to include more homes to our program one at a time as our budget expands.
Our initial plan was to pick one county where we can begin then identify a home to start with. When our budget is large enough to cater for all the basic needs in that particular home and we have a surplus, then we identify a second home to include in our program. Our vision is to have presence in all the counties in our country (Kenya) before we can look at other countries in East Africa. As the program grows and the budget increases we can consider looking at other countries in Africa at large.
07
Authenticity and Transparency.
We are transparent in our programs and processes. Every month we have a target of the amount of funding we would like to receive through donations for our social cause of supporting children’s homes. This amount is always visible in our donations form, and the form also shows how much we have received in percentage. At the end of the month we communicate on email to all our donors and well wishers letting them know how much we have been able to raise each month.
Through our email communication, to our donors and well wishers who have contributed towards our social cause, we give a break down of how the funding was utilized. This is where we talk about our milestones, successes and progress made in supporting children’s homes. Our donors and well wishers can request for any relevant information with regards to their donations and we respond promptly and accurately.
