Be Part of the Butterfly Effect!

Papillon is a direct action charity passionate about bettering every community we are involved with, one life at a time.

If a child has a roof over their head, is well-fed, clothed, healthy and attends school, they have the freedom to pursue their life’s purpose and that is a beautiful thing.

That is what we call the butterfly effect and that is what Papillon is all about.

We want to make a real difference, one life at a time.

We partner with boots-on-the-ground direct action organizations that make real change happen within the communities they support. Our inaugural project, MACODEP, in Kenya does just that. Through this partnership, we’ve been able to provide security, housing, food and schooling for abandoned and vulnerable children in Kenya and also hope to provide a better future for the entire surrounding community by building a kindergarten, primary school and medical clinic down the road.

Just like skipping rocks create ripple effects, people who have gone through transformation can make waves in their communities. See how we plan on changing Kenya, one life at a time.

Supporting Papillon goes towards:

Sponsoring Vulnerable Children

Give children a future they love. Partnering with us means providing a safe home, food and schooling for at-risk children. More than that, it’s giving someone their childhood back. And that’s something worth celebrating.

Helping with the Little Things

Whether its a new pair of shoes, a school uniform, or food for a month, we are endevouring to provide all the little things that make a difference in a child in Kenya’s life so they can focus on just being a child and making their dreams of a fruitfull future come true.

Helping with the Big Things

Building capital projects, like a home for children, a kindergarten, primary school or medical clinic, we can make a long term difference in the lives of vunerable children in Kenya and also stir change in their surrounding communities.

When children have all of their basic needs taken care of, they flourish.

This long-term commitment is a great opportunity to lift up Kenyan children and allow them to dream big and achieve more than they could have ever thought possible.

Help a child bloom where they’ve been planted - support a child’s journey today.

Help us with the “little” things

It takes a village to run an orphanage. Supporting our parnters means we can provide food, school and art supplies, lessons, and other things that provide children with a robust, fulfilling childhood.
