changes everything.
It doesn’t matter whether you give $10 a month or $10,000. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a founding organization — there is a seat at this table for you. This is what partnership looks like when a mission refuses to be small.
You belong here
to show up for this mission.
You’ve been thinking about it. You’re not sure how much you can give. You just know you want to do something real. That is exactly how most of our longest partnerships started.
You show up every month — not for recognition, but because you know that consistency is what builds something that lasts. You are the backbone of this mission.
Your company, foundation, or church wants to do something that matters at scale. GDP offers deep partnership, verified accountability, and a mission worthy of your name.
You want to go. You want to stand in the hard places, see the work firsthand, and come home changed. Missions trips to Kenya have transformed every person who has taken one.
No gift is too small. Every gift is the mission.
The wells get drilled because of $25 gifts. The girls at St. Rita eat because of $50 gifts. The scholarship students graduate because of $100 gifts. You don’t need to be a foundation to change a life. You just need to decide to start — and then keep going.
Partnership levels
Then grow from there.
A word about levels: These are not meant to rank your worth — they are meant to show you what your giving makes possible at each level, and to let you dream about what comes next. Many of our most loyal supporters started with a Seed gift. The mission is identical at every level.
You are planting something real. A Seed partner is where most of our longest relationships began — with someone who believed enough to start.
You are going deeper. Root partners sustain the everyday work — the meals, the care, the education that happens quietly every single day in Kenya.
You are building something that lasts. Grove partners fund structural change — infrastructure, leadership centers, and programs that outlive us all.
You are creating a legacy. Forest partners and founding organizations shape the future of entire communities — and Kenya is beginning to know your name.

Why partner with GDP
And you made it possible.
Every program GDP runs is built to outlast us — rooted in local leadership, local ownership, and skills that stay in the community long after we leave.
New cities. New programs. New partnerships every year. You are joining a movement that is expanding — and your partnership fuels every step of that growth.
Candid Platinum 2025 & 2026. GreatNonprofits Top Rated. IRS-verified 501(c)(3). We publish what we spend and prove what we build — every single year.
Whether you give $10 or $10,000, you are part of the same community — sitting at the same table, working toward the same East Africa.
GDP is registered with Kenya’s NGO Coordination Board and CAFO. Your partnership is connected to work that is known and trusted on the ground.
“Is it rewarding, life-changing and life-fulfilling? Yes — it’s incredible.” Ask any partner who has been to Kenya. They say it first, without being asked.
How to get involved
All of them matter.
Your donations go directly to the programs in Kenya — children’s homes, St. Rita School, clean water, women’s empowerment, scholarships, and humanitarian aid. Every dollar is tracked, reported, and deployed on the ground. Whether it’s $10 or $10,000, your gift shows up in a real life today.
If you have a trade, a talent, or simply a willingness to roll up your sleeves — GDP welcomes volunteers ready to show up. From missions trips to Nairobi and Nyahururu, to virtual support from wherever you are, there is a role for you. Is it tiring? Yes. Is it worth it? Ask anyone who has been.
Some of our most powerful partners have never given a dollar — but they told ten people about GDP who did. Share our stories. Share our impact reports. Tell a friend, a church, a colleague. Every referral is a potential partnership, and every partnership is a life that gets reached.

without you in it.
Every partner in this community started somewhere. Some started with $10. Some started with a phone call. Some started by simply saying yes when someone asked. The only wrong move is waiting — Kenya doesn’t have time for that, and neither do you.
