Africa
Where Kershaw’s Challenge first began.
Arise africa
Our 2026 Project with Arise Africa: overhaul and renovate the sports and community spaces as well as support the feeding program.
It is hard to believe that the Arise Homes opened 13 years ago! Lives have been changed and beautifully lived in the homes and as you can imagine, lots of love means a little wear and tear! The Arise Homes are not only home to the children who live there…but they have become a community center of joy for many, many more. KC would like to focus on the opportunity to overhaul and renovate the sports and community spaces at the homes. We love how much the kids want to be there! Additionally, we will focus on raising support to go into the feeding program, putting good food into bellies.
Action in africa
Our 2026 Project with Action in Africa: sponsor the Nutrition and Water Program.
Our friends at Action in Africa are transforming the lives of children in Uganda. We love their heart and initiatives to meet the critical life needs of kids. It is a joy to partner with them again this year in feeding children and providing safe, clean water for the entire community. This funding is crucial for providing daily nutritious meals and access to clean drinking water for thousands of students, families, schools and staff.
BEB
Our 2026 project with BEB: Support the Children First Software in Zambia
How can we care for children when we don’t know their names? This question has lingered in our hearts for years. BEB steps in so that children are seen, known and documented. And then, transformation can begin. Using the incredible Children First Software, BEB creates profiles for children living in institutions. This significant process is allowing – with great, measured success – children to be moved into a family environment. Our efforts will again focus on Zambia, where BEB continues to grow and succeed.
International Justice Mission
Our 2026 project with IJM: continue to fund rescue missions in Ghana.
Until all are free. IJM lives every single year with that mantra. We share that exact same heart. Until all children are free from forced labor…we have work to do. Working with local law enforcement, IJM is seeking to rescue, restore and redeem the children who are locked in forced labor on Lake Volta in Ghana. Incredible progress has been made, but the continued work is vital. It is a holy burden to continue this work and KC is humbled to be in it again this year.
