Founded in 2024 by Heloise Ahoure and Damto Lare, KIKinitiative was established to address the critical need for safe recreational and educational spaces in rural Africa. Recognizing the significant gaps in infrastructure, the organization focuses on creating playgrounds and community centers that serve dual purposes—offering children spaces for play and learning while providing communities with venues for social engagement, education, and skill development.
KIKinitiative is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of children and empowering communities across rural Africa, taking a country-by-country approach to deliver meaningful impact. Through the construction of playgrounds and multi-functional community hubs, the organization fosters environments where children can thrive and communities can grow.
As a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, KIKinitiative is committed to creating sustainable spaces for education, vocational training, and safe recreation, ensuring every project leaves a lasting positive impact on the children and families it serves.
