Mainsprings

About Us

Mainsprings is a nonprofit dedicated to lifting children and families across East Africa out of poverty through education and restorative agriculture.

Our Promise
Mainsprings personifies the hope and joy seen in the eyes of East African children and families who are mastering the life skills necessary to break the cycle of poverty and create a sustainable future for themselves and their community. Far greater than the sum of its individual parts, Mainsprings provides compassionate, lasting, innovative change via safe refuge, education, healthcare and economic sustainability through agriculture. Like a nurturing family, Mainsprings creates an environment where children are empowered to develop lifelong skills. Day-in and day-out, with the partnership of staff, donors, volunteers and local villages, Mainsprings makes possible a new, hopeful reality for East African communities.
