Our Story
Lea Mathare Foundation was founded in 2013 by Gregory Waithaka, a native of the Mathare community. Since then, the foundation has impacted over 1,000 children throughout the years, offering hope and opportunities for a brighter future.


As a passionate supporter of underprivileged children, Dr. Mirriam Ogunja has quietly and consistently uplifted young lives through her yearly visits, care, and generosity. Her dedication reminds us that true impact lies in the HOPE she brings to the children.
