About the Muindi Foundation LearnNow Programs (proceeds from the event benefit LearnNow)
The Muindi Foundation is dedicated to transforming lives by walking alongside low-income, underserved children from elementary school through high school graduation and beyond, including support for college. Students must be:
From low-income households (per California Multifamily Housing Program income limits)
At least one year behind in language arts or mathematics
Enrolled in elementary school at the time of entry
Families with children not at grade level are given priority

The LearnNow programs are a lifeline for low-income families in San Jose.
Every child receives academic support, mentorship, and a holistic learning environment at no cost to their families. By funding these programs, we help change the trajectory of children’s lives through education, guiding them from early learning to higher education.
