Hello friends
Welcome to Youth Helping Youth
Global Organization (YHY)
I welcome you to join us for such a time as this; influencing the world with the love and gospel of Jesus Christ!
​
THE PROBLEM
Youth Helping Youth was established after I had the privilege of visiting Kenya many years ago, and having witnessed hundreds of school children walking several kilometers in the heat of the afternoon. I inquired about where they were walking to, or coming from, and was informed that they walk the long distances to school, home for lunch, then the long trek back to school again.
I was also informed that the ironic thing is that most of them came to school having not eaten any breakfast, and most likely, will find nothing to eat when they returned home for lunch. This did not resonate well with me, as I reflected on my own childhood experiences of growing up in similar circumstances. As a child walking exceedingly long distances to and from school, and having experienced similar circumstances, I was able to empathize with their plight.
​
The Solution
YHY emphasizes the importance for ALL children regardless of color, creed, or class, to have nutritious meals for healthy lives, and especially for their physical growth, and developing brains to be successful at their studies. It is also important for Paula to see lives transformed, relationships restored, and communities changed through the truth of Jesus Christ. Despite my own plans, God has led me to establish Youth Helping Youth (YHY).
Being deeply moved by the children’s valiant efforts to learn and succeed with such minimal resources, it became an instant burden for her to start a breakfast and lunch program beginning with one of these schools in Kenya.
I am so proud to say that YHY has missions through various programs and outreaches in recent years and many years to come. Through your faithful prayers, support, and donations, this organization has been able to successfully provide authentic relationships, a safe environment, aided supplies, and global social awareness, that has strengthened many young minds locally and internationally.

All Princesses Wear White (APWW):
YHY launched this program in Kenya on December 4th, 2021. It aims to help combat Period Poverty and Period Shaming, a widespread problem affecting millions of adolescent girls and women worldwide. This creates a vicious cycle of poverty and abuse because of the lack of basic hygiene necessities, causing many girls to abandon their education. At YHY, we believe that every girl is a princess who deserves to feel confident enough to wear white without fear of exposure or shame.

Farley's Kitchen and School Feeding Program:
This School Feeding Program is a tribute to a dear friend who recently died in a tragic car accident. Farley was a beloved member of his community and a brother, uncle, and nephew to many. He was a man of faith who had a great passion for cooking and generously shared his culinary skills with others. He had a kind heart for people experiencing homelessness and those in need, and he adored children. Farley was thrilled when I told him about my plan to initiate a feeding program in Kenya and Trinidad & Tobago schools. He would have been delighted to contribute to making this dream a reality.
​
School Supplies Distribution:
Education is essential for survival, regardless of where you live, your financial situation, or your race. Education is crucial for success and the future of the world. Every child has a fundamental human right to receive an education and should be provided with the necessary tools. However, millions of children need access to even the most basic educational supplies, such as notebooks and pencils. Teachers need more resources to educate their students effectively.
​
YHY Cultural Exchange Platform:
YHY created the Cultural Exchange Platform with a powerful vision of uniting young individuals from local and international communities. It all began with a small group of seven youths from two different countries. Despite the distance, they remained connected through cell phones and WhatsApp video calls, gathering once a month to share their cultural heritage cuisine and discuss pertinent issues in their respective communities. The program has now grown to include even more young people from various parts of the world, including Florida, Trinidad and Tobago, and other areas in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Zambia. The program is made possible with the help of guest speakers, who are dear friends, and include medical professionals, educators, motivational speakers, and a Doctor of Psychology.

​
What We Do
YHY invest in the lives of children and youth, building the healthy environments they need to thrive, and empower them to create lasting change in their own lives and communities.
We want to give them a chance at a better future, and showing them God’s love globally. Apart from serving locally in America; we also plan to continue our service in Kenya and anticipate future endeavors in countries such as Trinidad & Tobago, throughout the Caribbean, and Tanzania.
Our diverse team sees every mission and outreach as an opportunity to assist our future young minds build stronger communities. We have Youths leaders as well as adult mentor volunteers. The role of our team is to truly love and serve multicultural children, youth, and their families. Funds, as available, are used to support local and international programs, purchase food items, school supplies, assist in school building repairs, and, lend a helping hand in the general missionary efforts of this origination. We celebrate knowledge, creativity and innovation.
​
​We know that providing needed school supplies, proper educational facilities, and furnishing the basic physical needs of the families we serve is not the ultimate goal. By being built up in love, we long to see them fed spiritually and restored into right relationship with God.
