Ending Poverty Together

Our Mission

Thrive is spreading a naturally contagious model for growing health, organically.

We train and equip communities to create Life Gardens, so they can step out of poverty and teach others to do the same.

We Measure Every Project

We track every dollar raised and show your impact through monthly growth reports and photos of the projects you helped fund.

Using a measure of “social return on investment” (SROI) is part of the pact we make with our team, our funders, and most importantly, the communities we serve. Keeping SROI at the forefront helps us allocate resources to where we can generate the most social good for every dollar we deploy.

Local

Our roots are in Kenya, but we have planted gardens globally. Thrive for Good has worked with local communities since 2008 to end poverty and hidden hunger.

Our staffing model reflects our commitment to building the capacity of local leaders, systems, and communities. Over 95% of our team is from the regions where we work, and most of our staff members are recruited directly from the communities we serve.

Our innovative organic agriculture, nutrition, and health curriculum was designed in partnership with local leaders. Our training is led by talented educators who come directly from the communities they serve.

Where We Work

100% Goes to the Field

From our founding, Thrive for Good has committed to a bold promise: 100% of your donations go directly to funding programs and operations. Donations cover training, seeds, and basic materials for community gardens. Every donation is spent in the communities where Thrive works.

We can deliver on this radical commitment because Thrive keeps overhead costs low. We are grateful to a few major donors and to Natural Calm Canada and Bolton’s Naturals, Canadian social enterprises that donate 100% of their profits to cover Thrive for Good salaries, marketing, fundraising, and administrative costs in Canada.
