Kilifi Kids Description:

In 2006, brothers Marc and Michael Olsen created Kilifi Kids to improve education resources in an impoverished Kenyan community around the town of Kilifi. Over time and through experience, a committed group of volunteers found affecting change at scale meant focusing on public health and wellbeing of young kids to maximize their long-term potential. This led the team to provide medication to 10s of 1000s of children.
