Welcome to FruitedPlains.org, the official website of our charity organization. As mentioned above, Fruited Plains is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable organization with a heart for Kenya relief. The people of Kenya, despite their intense struggle, possess a joy and love for others that captured our heart. We knew we were called to get involved and in January of 2005 Fruited Plains joined the legions of charities in Kenya. We have created three projects that we believe will really make a difference in the lives of the people of Kenya.
At Fruited Plains, we believe that if you give a man a handout, you refine his skill for begging, but if you give a man a hand-up, you refine his self-worth. As a result, our three projects: instead of providing immediate relief (though immediate relief is sometimes necessary), provide solutions that enable the people of Kenya in becoming self sustaining. Individuals that give to Fruited Plains, give to Africa in a new way - a way that affects not only the generations of today, but the generations to come.
Unlike some charities in Africa, Fruited Plains also educates the people through practical business seminars how to reduce their costs and increase their profits associated with farming. With the gift of the open pollinated maize seed, learning organic methods of fertilization and understanding companion planting, these are just a few of the principals making real differences in people's lives. To learn about the kinds of differences Fruited Plains has made, we encourage you to read our project updates, which include testimonies from the citizens of Mt. Elgon.
Fruited Plains, a faith based non-profit organization, is but one of the Kenya organizations which believe that the ultimate hope comes from God. We not only teach the people of Kenya how to better their situation, but they are also taught that God is with them in their struggle, and that He will see them through.
