WHY THIS NIGHT MATTERS

Twenty‑five years ago, Tumaini began as a small grassroots effort — a handful of people who believed that one child’s education could change a family, a community, and eventually a nation.

Child sponsorship launched this movement. Hope sustained it. And today, thousands of students have walked through school doors because someone believed in them.

This gala is more than a celebration. It’s a moment to honor the past, witness the impact of sponsorship, and launch into the next 25 years with renewed vision and momentum.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A night filled with joy, connection, and purpose:

• Inspiring U.S. donor stories — how being part of Tumaini has shaped their lives • Video stories from Kenya highlighting student journeys and community transformation • Interactive experiences that bring Tumaini’s mission to life • Dinner, celebration, and a room full of people who believe in hope • A chance to invest in the next generation through sponsorship or the Hope Fund

This is a night to remember — and a night to move forward together.

CAN’T ATTEND? YOU CAN STILL MAKE AN IMPACT

Support the Hope Fund. Your gift helps provide what sponsorship alone cannot — emergency care, expanded school supplies, food support, and critical needs that arise throughout the year.

This is the best way to invest in Tumaini’s mission if you cannot join us in person.

ROOTED IN HOPE: THE NEXT 25 YEARS

Child sponsorship launched Tumaini 25 years ago — and it remains the heartbeat of our mission. As we look ahead, we are committed to expanding sponsorship, strengthening the Hope Fund, reaching more underserved and marginalized children, and building a movement of people who believe in long‑term transformation.

This gala is the moment we launch the next 25 years together — rooted in hope, growing in impact, and believing that every child deserves the chance to thrive.
