The organization raises funds to support projects to improve the lives and health of residents of Kenya, Africa. Future in Our Hands-USA is part of an international network founded in Norway in 1974. They work through in-person visits and with African partnerships to determine the needs of a community and fund specific projects to meet those needs. They build wells for safe water, support agricultural projects, sponsor students for attendance in high school, college and training programs and fund access to hygiene products in schools, boosting female attendance.
