The Asanti Project aims to provide a home and a quality education to orphaned children in Lake Victoria, Kenya. A good education provides the children with the tools they need to overcome poverty, find work, and live independent lives in the future.
This initiative was started in 2004 by Phyllis Suter, a mother and businesswoman with Kenyan ancestry, and some friends in Switzerland. The only sources of funding are individual child sponsorships and charitable donations.
As of 2024, about sixty children live in the Asanti home near Kendu Bay on the shores of Lake Victoria and attend our own primary school.
