# 100 Humanitarians International > A 501(c)(3) nonprofit ending hunger, thirst, and period poverty in Kenya through Garden Towers, clean water systems, education sponsorships, and HopeKits, built with families, not for them. 100 Humanitarians International is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 82-1048388) founded in 2015 and headquartered in South Jordan, Utah. The organization works across southern Kenya, including the Maasai Mara, Olbolet, and 12 partner communities, alongside local directors and families. The model is hand-up, not hand-out: every program is paired with a sustainable income or food source so families build lasting independence. Track record includes 26,000+ Garden Towers built, thousands of rainwater tanks delivered, 65+ students sponsored through college, 10,000+ women and girls trained in reproductive health, and 500+ people taken to Kenya on humanitarian expeditions. Founder and Executive Director Heidi Totten has led the work in Kenya for 11+ years. Donations are tax-deductible. Monthly partnership starts at $10/month. A single Garden Tower costs $25 and feeds a family year-round. ## Key pages - [Heidi's Hope, Monthly Partnership](/heidis-hope): The primary giving page.
