Welcome to the website for the Baraka Foundation: Caring for Children In Need. The Baraka Foundation is committed to supporting projects that give people the opportunity of helping themselves. The mission is to elevate the quality of life through partnerships with community leaders in areas of much need.

The African continent is the area of concentration and particularly the village of Makobe in Kenya. We are excited about the improvements that have been made, in this village, through the efforts of the Baraka Foundation. Here at the Baraka Foundation we continue to be amazed with how "so little goes so far!" Please read further as the challenge is presented in detail.
