Journey4youth
Journe4YOUth is a 501c3 non profit organization (officially) founded in 2010 after Katie and I came back from our first trip to Africa. I always wanted to use my music as a tool to bring positive change in the world. I came up with the Journey4YOUth concept back in 2005 and did a few things but it wasn't until Katie began volunteering full time that things really started to happen.
We spent many months living in Kenya. The community in Kaswanga Village on Rusinga Island has become a second home to us. We use our music business to help raise awareness for the programs we run in Kenya. We also try to inspire others to get involved in their own community and find what it is they're passionate about.

Journey4YOUth focuses on bringing long term solutions to women and children in Kenya. We do this through education (keeping kids in school by paying for school fee's and uniforms) as well as trainings and micro loans for women.
Since 2010, Katie has volunteered over 40 hours a week working/running Journey4YOUth. We've never taken a single dollar in salary and we pride ourselves on keeping our administration costs below 3%. The reason we're able to do this is because we live/work in our school bus. Our bus is (not only) our home and sole source of transportation, but also our Journey4YOUth office.
