Registered in Kenya as a society in September 2021, TIES Kenya is led by 13 passionate members — 11 of whom are young women aged 18–25 currently pursuing university degrees. Two senior members, Sarah and John (in their 30s), provide mentorship and leadership.
Originally formed to implement the university sponsorship program funded by TIES Charity Canada, we have expanded our vision to include income generation and broader community impact through a social enterprise model. Most of our members were sponsored in high school and are now university beneficiaries — giving back is at the heart of who we are.
Our focus: sponsoring girls’ education, launching sustainable businesses, and creating economic opportunities that lift families and communities out of poverty.
TIES Kenya founded as a registered society to manage university sponsorships in partnership with TIES Charity Canada.
Officially registered and fully compliant with Kenyan law as a society.
Internal fundraising launched (monthly member contributions) toward seed capital for entrepreneurship ventures. Digital Skills Project piloted in collaboration with TIES Canada.
8 girls completed their studies, 7 graduated and 1 awaiting graduation in 2026.
3 girls currently sponsored in schools and universities across Kenya. Expanding digital training and entrepreneurship initiatives.
These principles guide everything we do — from daily operations to long-term impact.
Honesty, transparency, and ethical behaviour build trust with our beneficiaries, partners, and donors.
Collaboration and unity among members, mentors, and partners amplify our collective impact.
We are accountable to our community, donors, and each other — fulfilling commitments with dedication.
We believe in equipping young women with education, skills, and opportunities to lead change in their lives and communities.
