About Human Practice Foundation 

At The Human Practice Foundation, we firmly believe that education is the most powerful catalyst for lasting change. Our mission is to build schools and foster entrepreneurship in areas where they are needed most, ensuring that thousands of children receive the best possible start in life.

To date, we have initiated 116 school projects in Kenya and Nepal, impacting over 46,000 children through various programs. Looking ahead, our strategic goal is to expand our reach to 300 schools, with the possibility of impacting 150,000 children. Additionally, we are embarking on ambitious projects in coffee, tea, and agriculture to deepen our impact in the communities.
