🤝 New Partnership Opportunity – Empowering St 🤝 New Partnership Opportunity – Empowering Students Through Mentorship

We are pleased to announce a promising new partnership opportunity with Lion High School aimed at launching a mentorship program focused on mental health awareness and the protection of students from cyber-related violence.

This initiative seeks to equip students with the knowledge, tools, and support systems they need to navigate the digital world safely while also prioritizing their mental and emotional well-being. Through guided mentorship, open discussions, and peer support structures, the program will foster a safe space for learning, sharing, and growth.

At Better Me, we believe in the power of proactive education and partnership to create lasting impact. We are excited about the potential of this collaboration and look forward to working closely with Lion High School to empower and protect the next generation.

Over 3,200 students and teachers. Six schools. One Over 3,200 students and teachers. Six schools. One unforgettable day. 💚

The sports day at Tiengre Primary School lit up the entire Otonglo Zone with energy, laughter, and unity. From intense matches in football, volleyball, handball, and netball to dancing and cheering from the sidelines, every moment was alive with purpose.

These weren’t just games. Rather, they were lessons in teamwork, discipline, resilience, and joy.

And when the final whistle blew, something beautiful happened: students from different schools walked home together, side by side.

Because going to school isn’t just about classrooms... it’s about learning how to live well with others. And sports? They’re the best teacher of that we’ve found.

This was made possible through our @fifafoundation –funded Play4Change project.

Let’s keep building strong communities through the power of play. 🏐⚽🏃🏾‍♀️

💛 A Heartfelt Thank You, Floor As we say goodb 💛 A Heartfelt Thank You, Floor

As we say goodbye to Floor, we celebrate the kindness, calm energy, and compassion she brought during her three weeks of volunteering with us.

Though her time here was short, her gentle presence, warm spirit, and welcoming nature made a lasting impression on the children, volunteers, and staff alike. Floor connected with those around her with sincerity and care🥰leaving behind memories filled with laughter, learning, and genuine connection.

And as a sweet final gesture, she made sure the children were smiling☺️not just with her love, but with a handful of sweets too 🍬💛. A small act that says so much about the big heart she brought with her.

Thank you, Floor, for the love you shared and the quiet strength you brought to every space you entered. Your impact goes far beyond the time spent we are grateful to have been part of your journey.

Wishing you all the best as you carry your light forward. You’ll always be part of the Better Me family.

🌟 Not Goodbye, Just See You Soon – Thank You, 🌟 Not Goodbye, Just See You Soon – Thank You, Malea♥️!

Earlier this week,we bid farewell🥹 to Malea, one of our amazing long-term volunteers who has spent the past seven months making an incredible impact across our programs.

From classroom support to life skills sessions, sunrise hikes to swimming classes, Malea brought dedication, warmth, and positivity into every space she stepped into. Her energy, kindness, and constant willingness to show up for others have left a lasting mark on the children, staff, and fellow volunteers and we are truly grateful.

And in true Malea style😃, she made sure to leave with smiles😊 all around bringing each child a mandazi (because what’s a proper Kenyan goodbye without a delicious local treat? 😉).

As she closes this chapter and begins the next, we carry forward the joy, ideas, and connection she helped build. Thank you, Malea, for choosing to be part of the Better Me family. You’ll always have a home here.

Wishing you all the best this is not goodbye, just a new beginning.

Moulik is finally back with the Korando family and what a homecoming it is.

Last time, he was drawing spreadsheet lessons on a blackboard and teaching keyboard basics to curious little minds. Fast forward to today: Moulik has returned after leading an incredible fundraising campaign that has made history, the setup of Korando School's very first computer laboratory 💻✨

This time, he's here to usher in a new era, teaching coding and digital skills that will empower our kids to thrive in a digital world.

Welcome home, Moulik. We’re so proud and grateful to have you back. 💛

🦓 Unforgettable Moments Beyond Service – Maas 🦓 Unforgettable Moments Beyond Service – Maasai Mara Safari Experience

As part of our holistic volunteer program, we create space not only for meaningful service, but also for exploration, cultural exchange, and unforgettable memories. One of the recent highlights? A weekend safari to the iconic Maasai Mara—and it did not disappoint!

From spotting wildlife on the move to soaking in the vast, breathtaking landscapes, our volunteers got to experience the magic of Kenya beyond the community Service. These moments of adventure help strengthen bonds, renew energy, and remind us of the beauty we're working to protect and uplift.

A special thank you to @donge_ber  for making the trip smooth, safe, and incredibly memorable 🚌👏

If you're looking for a volunteer experience that blends purpose with adventure, this is your sign join us 😉and be part of something truly transformative.
