"We applied for the grant with big ideas of change in our heads and an even bigger desire to make a difference. But the truth? Wamunyu changed us way more than we could have ever changed it. What surprised us most wasn’t the need for resources or the challenges people faced—it was the overwhelming sense of hope and joy that already lived there."
