Core offering

HEART is a Christian faith-based humanitarian nonprofit that delivers an integrated four-pillar program — Health & Wellness, Education, Economic Strengthening, and Discipleship — to HIV-positive mothers, orphans, vulnerable children, and adolescent girls in Kenya through 7 Women Equality and Empowerment Project (WEEP) centers. The organization funds this work through individual donations, recurring student sponsorships ($600/year or $50/month), internship fees, and short-term volunteer mission trips, supplemented by partnerships with Rotary, Lions, and PINCC.

Product overview

HEART (Health Education Africa Resource Team) is a Christian faith-based humanitarian organization that offers a portfolio of integrated social impact programs rather than a unified technology product. The core offerings consist of four interconnected pillars: Health & Wellness (medical care, cancer screening, malaria prevention), Education (Kids For School sponsorship, Freedom for Girls menstrual health program), Economic Strengthening (income-generating activities, Savings and Internal Lending Communities, NextGen youth skills training), and Discipleship (spiritual mentoring and Bible study). These programs are delivered through 7 WEEP (Women Equality and Empowerment Project) centers across Kenya, supported by volunteer internship opportunities, the Heart Lodge hospitality facility, and a student sponsorship donation program. The organization does not offer a software platform or technology product.
