Irene, in her own words

Featured story · Mijomboni Primary, Kenya

This is Irene.

At 14, Irene had never touched a computer. In our STEM lab she learned to type and write simple code, and soon she was helping her classmates.

Today she dreams of becoming an environmental engineer. Press play to hear her thank the people behind her school's refurbished classrooms.

Where it all began.

Godwill and his mother, Josephine, started Dreamers Wish Foundation in her hometown of Mepe, with the support of some amazing friends from Utah. We refurbished 5 classrooms, installed art murals, donated school supplies and became lifelong friends with the dreamers.

Changemakers, changed.

"Nothing prepares you for the sort of transformation this experience gives you. As a mother, I went there to teach kids, but I ended up walking away with life-changing lessons from the kids."

Sheila C. · Kenya and Ghana trips

"My eyes were opened. Seeing those kids happy despite having nothing really hit me hard. I came away a more grateful man."

Phil B. · Ghana trip

"It was life-changing for us all. The presence of God was truly in every experience, and I'm beyond grateful to have been a part of this experience."
