" To give hope and opportunity to the children of Gitombo through Christ- centered education."
WHO WE ARE
For more than 7 years, PAAV International has partnered with the Gitombo community in central Kenya to empower youth in the region through education and skills training so that they may improve social and economic conditions in the community.
PAAV’S mission is to educate the underprivileged children in Gitombo village in a Christian environment by creatively tapping the potential in each child to become the person God intended them to be according to His plan and purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11; Proverbs 22:6)
“JUST LIKE YOU, SOMEONE HELPED
ME GET EDUCATION AND EXPOSURE,
I FEEL COMPELLED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE”
The Adopt -A- Village Project in Gitombo is about comprehensive community development; Changing people’s attitudes and way of living; doing away with old and oppressive ways of life and adopting new ways that would bring the village into the 21st century. The project enlists the participation of the local people in Gitombo as well as outsiders, and functions as a model to be emulated by other villages throughout Kenya;
