Changemakers Conference 2026

During the conference, we’ll shine a spotlight on the incredible work of our trusted partner organisation – Beacon of Hope.
 
Beacon of Hope is a faith-based NGO in Kenya, and we’ve partnered with them since 2021 on projects that create economic opportunities and strengthen the social wellbeing of communities living in Nairobi’s informal settlements.
 
You’ll hear about their inspiring initiative, Imarisha Kilimo – which means “strengthen agriculture” in Swahili. This project is helping families in Dagoretti, Kenya, build sustainable livelihoods through improved farming practices.
 
Join us to discover powerful stories of change, explore creative fundraising ideas, and learn how, together, we can make a lasting impact in the fight against poverty.
