Help Olivia Serve in Kenya

Donation protected
Hello friends and family near and far! 

I have been invited to serve at the first international Global Youth Peace Summit as an experienced peace delegate through the Amala Foundation in Meru, Kenya this winter, and I need your help to afford my flight to Africa.


The Kenya Global Youth Peace Summit will unite 70 youth in Meru, Kenya for a week dedicated to personal growth, leadership development, cultural exchange and community building.

The Kenya Summit will take place in Meru, Kenya in partnership with International Peace Initiatives, a humanitarian service organization founded by Dr. Karambu Ringera, as well Initiatives of Change.   The Kenya Summit will take place December 30th-January 5th at the beautiful home of the International Peace Initiatives.

About the Amala Foundation:

The Amala Foundation unites youth from all walks of life and inspires them to grow as individuals and as leaders in service to humanity.
“Amala” means many things in many languages.  In Hindi, it means “pure”; in Arabic, “hope”; and in Hebrew, “work”.   Amala offers safe, supportive and inspiring experiences where youth from all backgrounds come together to learn and grow. From youth summits to camps to leadership training, Amala’s programs promote personal growth, clear communication, deep listening, compassion and an ethos of service.

Since 2001, the Amala Foundation has offered over 4,500 youth a unique blend of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs and cross-cultural connection aimed at providing the next generation of leaders with a model of inclusion, compassion, commitment and service to their communities.

Amala’s programs focus on young individuals including refugees and immigrant youth, many of whom have experienced war, abuse, neglect, extreme poverty, child labor, and gang violence; and provide them the opportunity to unite with peers from vastly different backgrounds and participate in meaningful dialogue, community building exercises, and leadership development.
