Our History

Inspired by their parents’ legacies of love and service, married couple Tim and Serena Muindi founded Muindi Foundation in 2017. Their mission was simple: to create a community where everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive.


It started with a simple act of kindness. Moved by the needs of their neighbors, Tim and Serena gathered a small group of friends to distribute hygiene kits to the unhoused. This small step ignited a flame, and the foundation quickly grew from providing essential supplies to unhoused individuals to offering comprehensive tutoring programs for low-income elementary students.


Today, the Muindi Foundation is more than a charity. Our work extends beyond immediate relief; we believe in investing in our future. Our LearnNow programs aim to break the cycle of poverty by nurturing young minds and providing them with the tools they need to succeed.
