The Mwanzo Foundation

Stichting Mwanzo is committed to The Ark Children's home in Ngoliba, Kenya. We do this by supporting The Ark with financial resources and valuable knowledge. Our goal is to offer vulnerable children a safe and loving environment in which they can grow up with access to education, health care and a promising future. With your help, we can make a lasting difference in their lives. Together we are building a better future!

This foundation was founded in 2023. You can read more about its origin under "How it started". The foundation has a board consisting of three people;

  • Martijn Tempelaar - Treasurer
  • Lente van der Stel - Secretary
  • Clements Radenborg - Chairman and founder

The Foundation meets the requirements for a Public Benefit Organization and is recognized as such by the Tax Authorities so that your donation can be deducted in the Netherlands for tax purposes.

The Mwanzo foundation supports The Ark through effective fundraising, the use of committed volunteers and a strong local support network. Thanks to donations and campaigns, we can provide financial resources for education, nutrition and healthcare. Our volunteers contribute with their knowledge and dedication, both in the Netherlands and locally. In addition, we work closely with local partners to promote sustainable support and self-reliance. Together we really make a difference!

Your total donation will be transferred in full to The Ark. The Mwanzo Foundation itself is responsible for all the foundation's costs. This includes hosting costs, notary and administration costs, travel expenses, etc.

We transfer the money to The Ark's account once or twice a month to keep transfer costs to a minimum. So 100% of every euro donated actually benefits The Ark.
