Annie's Impact
KENYA KEEP
Creating A Safe Haven
Our founder first started working with Kenya Keep in 2012. The organization helps provide clean water, personal care products, supports hospital’s in upgrading their facilities and also helps send children to school. Since many of these children live in remote areas where they cannot walk to school daily, most children have to move to boarding schools to receive an education. We have supported many students at several different schools in Kenya. These students range from grade 7 to grade 12. We provide them with meals, clothes, stationery for their studies and most recently have provided PPE to the children as well as staff to keep them safe. We have also helped update their medical facilities, such as adding new incubators to their maternity ward. We are inspired by the children and staff that we support through Kenya Keep.
CAMBODIAN RURAL OUTREACH
Feeding Futures
Poverty is a persistent issue in the rural highlands of central Cambodia, something our Founder, Kevin Shinn, recognized during his first visits to the region. The rice soup program requires $2,000.00 each month and serves 10 villages, benefiting a total of 970 children. This amount translates to 1-2 sacks of rice per village monthly, along with other essential ingredients.. Through Annie's dedicated efforts and support, we aim to break the cycle of poverty by ensuring these children receive the nourishment they need to thrive. By providing daily meals, we not only fill stomachs but also fuel futures, empowering communities and fostering a brighter tomorrow.
MEDICAL PPE DONATIONS
Protecting Those Who Serve
At the start of the pandemic, we as well as so many others were desperately seeking for PPE, such as masks and hand sanitizer. Starting in April 2020, we opened the Annie PPE division and started developing various products to help not only our employees live safely through the uncertain times ahead, but also to provide to our neighbors and people all over the world! Before masks were required to enter businesses here in Pennsylvania, we were donating to those working on the front lines. We sent PPE and beauty product care packages to the nurses at Jefferson Memorial Hospital in Philadelphia and also donated masks and gloves locally to our police department, senior care living facilities and grocery stores. We will continue to send PPE to our friends in Cambodia and Kenya to protect them as well.
Cambodia Student Center
Nourishing Minds
Annie began our partnership with St. Joseph Catholic Student Center and St. John’s Parish in Siem Reap, Cambodia starting in 2016. We provide daily meals and stationery products for the student’s at their school as well funding for events such as their Christmas party. Annie is also working to rebuild the student center by adding a new roof, bathroom, and electrical and water systems. It is truly our passion to watch these student’s grow over the years
