ABOUT RKF
The Rahul Kotak Foundation comprises a core of like-minded individuals that bring together their unique blend of skills, ideas, and experience to set up projects with the intention of helping the neediest members of our society; especially underprivileged children.
A majority of our team were born and raised in Kisumu and have therefore witnessed a large part of the city’s population struggle with poverty. The importance of charity and philanthropy were instilled into us from a very young age; mainly through participation in events organised by our schools such as fundraising for a particular cause, volunteering to perform community service or donating our belongings to a charity.
These values have carried forward into adulthood. We intend on using The Rahul Kotak Foundation as a platform for promoting these same values as well as creating channels through which our donors’ funds can be utilised in the most efficient way for sustainable, long-term projects.
​"You may not always have a comfortable life. And you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once. But don't ever underestimate the importance you can have, because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own." - Michelle Obama
