WHO WE ARE
We're not satisfied with just changing one life. We're changing the world, one life at a time.
Globally, many communities are struggling with immense challenges such as malnutrition, poverty and illiteracy. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of these issues - however it's essential we remember that what unites us all is our common humanity. For real change to take place on a large scale means focusing efforts at an individual level; each person has both the capacity for great success but also in need of support from those around them. The power lies within every 'ONE' – let’s make sure together we create meaningful outcomes!
Our Story
Start With One began with a simple question: What if we could change the world by starting with just one person? That question became our guiding principle and our name. Since then, we’ve delivered clean water solutions, medical care, and educational support to thousands across Kenya.
But we don’t do this alone. We work in partnership with local communities, volunteers, and donors who believe in the power of small beginnings to create wide-reaching ripples of transformation.
Our Mission
To transform individual lives by providing clean water, enabling health and education to break the cycle of poverty around the world.
Our Vision
A world where every individual is empowered to create meaningful change—one donation, one water filter, one life at a time.
Our Core Values
We don’t just provide services to people, we pursue sustainable impact. Our work is built on a foundation of values that guide every project and every partnership:
Empowerment
Encouraging individuals to make a difference.
Sustainability
Focusing on long-term solutions over short-term fixes.
Integrity
Operating with transparency and accountability
Inclusion
Helping all communities without discrimination
Collaboration
Building partnerships to amplify impact.
Service
Serving others with a Christ-like love.
Why We Start With One
Because we’ve seen it happen again and again: one filter can provide clean water for years. One child with access to school can lift an entire family. One donor’s gift can unlock health for a village.
Change doesn’t start with massive systems. It starts with one person deciding to make a difference.
And that person could be you.
