Crossing Thresholds founder, Carter Via, was introduced to the Kibera Slum (Nairobi, Kenya) in 2007. As the second largest slum in the world and home to nearly 1.5 million Kenyans, it compelled him to respond. With hundreds of thousands of children out of school and malnourished, the need for schools and feeding programs was abundantly clear.
Thus in December 2008, Crossing Thresholds was incorporated as a 501c3 and began its mission to build schools and holistic learning environments for underserved children. Our method was simple and straightforward – identify and enlist local grassroots leaders with a vision for educating children in the slum, employ local Kenyans to build and teach in our schools, and organize service-learning trips to bring volunteers into these projects.
