Executive Summary of BTCKE
Be the Change – Kenya (BTKE) works towards the eradication of child poverty by
strengthening the capacity of local leaders and local organizations.
We
work alongside the Kenyan community to build relationships, mobilize local
resources and create sustainable solutions for children living in poverty in
Kenya.
Our
strategy permeates multiple levels of the local community. We develop the
capacity of local organizations by forming two-year partnerships with local
organizations that provide direct aid to children living in poverty.
Partners
participate in a multi faceted management-training program that includes a
collaborative management-training program, executive mentorship and access to a
network of pro-bono advising services.
We
understand that individual organizations alone cannot change a community;
therefore we enlist Young Adult leaders to advocate for local support of our
Partner Organizations.
Young
Adults are trained in Leadership and Organizing Material developed by a network
of resources including the Marshall Ganz of the Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard University, the Greensboro School of Servant Leadership and Episcopal
Service Corps.
Young
Adult graduates from Be the Change – Kenya (hereafter referred to as BTCKE)
form teams that recruit donors, volunteers, resources, corporate sponsorship,
clinical services and more for our Partner Organizations.
Our
training programs not only develop capacity, they awaken directors, Young
Adults and members of the local community to a renewed sense of power and
agency. Furthermore, BTCKE bridges a formally divided community into partners,
working together for long-term change.
This
long-term change must include the support of the Kenyan Government. To this
end, BTCKE intends for this cohort of leaders to become active advocates and
proponents of policy reform that supports children living in poverty.
In all our endeavors we maintain our core ideals: interdependent community,
sustainable and scalable impact, human capacity and holistic wellbeing.
