Our Story
Our founder Kendeline Kazouh was born and raised in Liberia, West Africa. Growing up, her parents worked hard, but they struggled financially, and couldn’t afford her education. Just when her dreams felt out of reach, God sent help through a nonprofit organization that supported her through school. That act of kindness changed her life and planted a deep purpose in her heart.
She started Pure Heart Foundation to create opportunities for children and families facing the same struggles she once did - to be the help she once received, and to make sure no child’s future is limited by hardship. ​
​
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a bridge between orphaned children and a brighter future by empowering orphanage homes internationally, particularly throughout West Africa, to thrive and transform lives. We provide an opportunity where every orphan is empowered to live with dignity, thrive in a nurturing environment, and achieve their full potential.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive care, education, and emotional support to orphans throughout West Africa, while advocating for their rights and creating opportunities for a better future through partnerships and community driven initiatives.
