For 13 years, The Action Foundation has built inclusive and resilient Kenyan communities where children with disabilities can thrive. As the Action Foundation looked toward the future, they realized their social enterprise could help them achieve long-term financial sustainability. The Action Foundation sells merchandise produced by caregivers in the disability community (see items pictured), but sales were small. One World awarded the Action Foundation a two-year Sustainability Grant to bring on the sales and marketing expertise needed to leverage this resource. As a result, the Action Foundation has already seen a 150% increase in sales. This new revenue source will help them continue delivering therapy to children with disabilities throughout Kibera, Kenya.

Grassroots leaders work tirelessly to help children, but the funds they need for critical infrastructure are few and far between. One World fills that gap by funding projects designed to strengthen organizations for the benefit of the children they serve.
