About Us

"From the Netherlands to Kenya,

 Rare Vrienden Organization is changing lives in Kilifi, Kenya.

 Founded by Eric Smaling and Jonathan Mativo back in 2021, the relatively young yet impactful organization focuses on the development of communities through education and sustainable farming. First within a private frame, and now with your support, they give scholarships to girls and finance irrigation projects that give women the power to develop themselves. Your donation builds hope, food security and brighter futures.

Visit *us for more info and become a member today at either rarevrienden.nl or rarevrienden.org and you can start to make a real difference. Thank you all."

"This is not a matter of tens of thousands of dollars,it is less and it can be done." -Eric Smaling
