Honouring A Matriarch, Building A Legacy
The Jane Mildred Akoth Adewa Foundation was established in honor of Jane Adewa, who passed away from breast cancer on May 26, 2012, the foundation aims to transform that personal loss into systemic change.
Jane was a woman who believed deeply in the power of prevention, the liberation of education, and the dignity of economic self-sufficiency.
Operating at the intersection of health, literacy, and livelihood, we focus on rural Ugenya, in Siaya County, Kenya- areas rich in potential but underserved in infrastructure. We are not starting from scratch; we are continuing a legacy.

Livelihood
Unlocking Self-Sufficiency and Wealth Creation for men, women and youth. We believe that when you equip a community with micro-enterprise skills, seed capital and peer support, you do not just change one life- you change a household, and often a generation.
