Announcing our latest partnership

The One Heart Foundation

We are delighted to announce that our latest charity partner is The One Heart Foundation and we have committed to helping them build a dual-purpose training facility in Kenya.

After a JDF board member attended several events hosted by One Heart and learnt about the shocking statistics of children dying from poverty [about 14,000 per day] we were moved to get involved.

Whilst our children safely go to sleep at night with a full tummy, feeling loved and safe, simultaneously the children in East Africa experience the polar opposite.

In today’s day and age it is wrong that:

  • 356 million children are living in extreme poverty, forced to survive on <$1.90USD a day

  • 5 million children die from preventable [poverty related] causes every year

  • An estimated 32.1 million orphans live in Africa

Whilst these statistics are overwhelming, there is something we can do to help. By partnering with One Heart, we can empower young children in East Africa to fulfill their potential by providing them with education, healthcare, food, and other essentials all in a loving and caring environment.

One Heart runs 5 sites – two in Kenya, two in Uganda and one in Tanzania, caring for 400 children and employing over 70+ locals from various tribes.

What are we raising funds for?

They say that Knowledge is Power – and we believe that. 

Funds raised through the initiatives at the Jared Dunscombe Foundation will go towards building a skills training center in Kenya that will enable One Heart to provide vocational training, and basic business training to young people, empowering them with what they need to break free from the poverty cycle – making a difference today that will impact tomorrow.

The Programs

ABOUT THE TRAINING FACILITY

THE PROGRAMS:
Feat. Street Business School

The multi-purpose training centre will run a variety of programs, including classes as part of the junior high as well as vocational and community training. One of the first to be established will be ‘Street Business School’.

The Results:

STREET BUSINESS SCHOOL

  • SBS graduates experienced a 211% increase in income two years after graduation (from $1.37per day to $4.19)

  • Had 149% higher income than the control group

  • SBS graduates had 110% high earnings and 149% higher sales than the control group surveyed

  • 80-89% own ONE business one year after graduating; and 46-56% own TWO businesses one year after graduating.

At its core, the Jared Dunscombe Foundation believes that actions speak louder than words. Through projects, events and activities, we are determined to raise funds that directly benefit young people and communities.

But none of this is possible without your ongoing support – your generosity in the past has left us speechless, and for this we want to thank you – we can never thank you enough.

Together we can make a difference.

We hope to see you at our next event, One Million Miracles Cocktail Charity Event on the 14th October 2022.
