Building a homeless-free community
Muindi Foundation is committed to doing whatever it takes to build a homeless-free community. That means we need every person to pitch in because nearly every neighborhood in Silicon Valley is affected and must leverage every available resource and collaborate with organizations and people who share our belief that homelessness is unacceptable.
