About us
One-to-one support. Lifelong possibility.
Heart2Heart USA believes education is the most effective tool to break the cycle of poverty—especially when girls are given the safety, support, and opportunity to learn.
Through one-to-one sponsorship, we support children who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS or have been abandoned. Our program provides more than access to school: it creates encouragement, self-worth, belonging, and the tools for self-determination.
Today, more than 300 students have been empowered through Heart2Heart sponsors.
Organization story and origin
From a dangerous daily journey to a safer path forward.
-
The Beginning
A dangerous daily journey demanded a safer solution.
In 2025, Heart2Heart established its Education Sponsorship Program in partnership with a small orphanage in rural Kenya to support children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Each morning prior to school, children had to walk three miles simply to fetch water. Along these morning treks, young girls faced the constant danger of abduction and even worse risks.
Our Solution: Connect individual sponsors with individual girls to support their education at private schools, ensuring they remain safe and receive a quality education to promote self-determination.

Where We Are Today
Ten girls became a movement reaching hundreds.
What started with supporting ten girls in private education has grown significantly over the past 2 years. Through a 1-to-1 sponsorship, Heart2Heart sponsors have empowered more than 300 students.
Beyond educational and vocational support, our program fosters meaningful connections between students and their sponsors, giving young scholars a strong sense of encouragement, self worth and belonging.
“With the support of Heart2Heart, we have been able to serve our students better than ever.”
– Joseph Oguta, Head Teacher

How we help
Education supported at every level.
Our work begins with a girl’s education and extends to the people and communities that help her thrive.
-
Sponsor a Girl’s Education
Education sponsorship for a girl in primary school is $42 per month or $504 per year. It covers tuition, a school uniform, necessities, and basic medical care for a full school year.
-
Continuing Support for Students
A school year runs from January to December with a break every three months. When sponsored students return to their community and guardians part of your sponsorship pays for their necessities and food at home.

Support for Communities
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning.
