Last month we delivered 75 sanitary pads to a secondary school in Laikipia, Kenya through our Feeding Program partnership. In rural Kenya, missing school during your period is still common. Pads aren’t just hygiene — they’re attendance. They’re staying in class. They’re not falling behind. 75 girls. One quiet, important delivery. We’ll keep going. #MakingChangeTogether #HeartForKenya #AFRIpads

The Bike Safari 2026 was special. 💞 But what makes it truly meaningful is what we created together. Through this trip and additional donations, we raised CHF 39’210 for the Daniela Ryf Foundation — allowing us to take the next step and change even more lives. And real change on the ground: 🍽️ Increasing daily meals from 1,000 to 1,500 children through an additional feeding program in Laikipia 🩸 Supporting 2,500 girls with reusable menstrual health kits (up from 1,500) 🏠 Ensuring ongoing support for the orphanage (electricity, school fees, housing) 🧠 Creating safe spaces for children to talk about and process their traumas ⚽ Building a sports program, giving children weekly access to movement and new skills This is what happens when movement meets purpose. An unforgettable adventure and real change created together. 💞 Thank you to everyone who was part of it. #DanielaRyfFoundation #BikeSafari #MakingChangeTogether #Impact #HeartForKenya

Some days are hard to put into words. Visiting the programs of @danielaryffoundation together with our guests and showing them firsthand where the support from their trip goes was a very special moment. Seeing the programs on site shows what this support makes possible: a home for the orphans, kids continuing their education in high school, daily meals, and Afripads for the girls. We also played together on the basketball court and helped prepare meals for the 1000 children who receive daily meals here. Many of these children face challenges most of us can hardly imagine, yet their excitement, energy, joy, and drive are truly contagious. There is so much we can learn from their spirit — and their dance moves too :) A day full of perspective, gratitude, and heart. Feeling very grateful to everyone who supports this work. #MakingChangeTogether #HeartForKenya #danielaryffoundation

Back in Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤️ Last week we visited the programs which the @danielaryffoundation supports to review the progress, discuss the next steps, and spend time with the amazing kids and community we work with. Between meetings there was singing, playing and a lot of joy. This is the best reminder of why these programs matter. We also prepared the arrival of our guests for the Bike Safari, an exclusive fundraising trip where supporters visit our programs and experience the beauty of Kenya by bike. Visiting my step-grandmother nearby made the day even more special — a quiet reminder of why I started this work. ❤️ Moments like these motivate us to keep going and keep building opportunities together. Thank you to everyone who supports the Daniela Ryf Foundation. 🙏 #DanielaRyfFoundation #HeartForKenya #MakingChangeTogether

Thank you. 💛 With your support, the Daniela Ryf Foundation has successfully funded 110 bikes. 🚲 These bikes will provide children with access to movement, structure, community, and renewed confidence — strengthening both physical and mental well-being. This achievement reflects what is possible when a community stands behind a shared mission. On behalf of the foundation and the children: thank you for your trust and generosity. 💛 #DanielaRyfFoundation #BikesForHealing #SportsForHope

Growing up in the slums means facing realities no child should have to carry. Unstable homes. Violence. Insecurity. And too little space to feel safe, heard, or loved. This is where we step in. Through the new mental-health program with Blessed to Transform, we support safe spaces where children can talk, build self-worth, and learn how to treat themselves and others. Because how a child feels today shapes how they move through life tomorrow. Healing doesn’t only happen through words. It also happens through movement, play, and freedom. 🚲✨ That’s why we’re expanding the program with sport-based sessions. Our goal is to deliver 110 bikes to the feeding center, where they’ll be used to: 🔹 build confidence 🔹 create positive routines and teamwork 🔹 reduce stress and anxiety 💛 Thanks to your support, we’ve already raised a significant amount. The campaign runs until February 15, when the bikes will be shipped. 💛 Want to help? One bike (incl. repair, shipping & setup) costs CHF 60.– Every bike gives one more child freedom, confidence, and joy. 👉 danielaryf-foundation.com 🤍 #BikesForHealing #DanielaRyfFoundation #MentalHealthMatters #SportsForHope #MakingChangeTogether

💛 Give a Bike. Change a Life. 🚲✨ As part of the new mental-health program, we’re introducing sport-based sessions, because movement helps children process trauma, build confidence, and reconnect with joy. Thanks to FB4K we are preparing to deliver 110 bikes to the feeding center. These bikes will stay at the school and be used in the program to: 🔹 Build confidence through learning new skills 🔹 Give kids a sense of independence and freedom 🔹 Turn movement into emotional healing 💛 You can support this journey: A full bike (incl. shipping & setup) costs CHF 60.–. Donate one bike → help one child find confidence & joy. 💛 2 bikes — CHF 120.– 💛 4 bikes — CHF 240.– 💛 8 bikes — CHF 480.– 👉🏻 Donate now at danielaryf-foundation.com and let’s bring movement, healing, and opportunity to 110 kids. Healing happens when kids move, play, and feel free. #BikesForHealing #SportsForHope #DanielaRyfFoundation #MovementHeals #MakingChangeTogether

Every child deserves a safe space. 💛 At our feeding center in Nairobi, many children carry heavy childhood trauma, violence, neglect, loss, and daily insecurity. This is why we are introducing a dedicated mental-health program that gives these kids a voice, support, and the chance to heal. ✨ What the program offers: • Safe group sessions led by our program workers • Emotional support & trauma processing through play • Daily stability through meals + community • A space where kids feel seen, protected, and valued For many of them, it’s the first time someone truly listens. Daniela Ryf Foundation - Because every child deserves healing. #ChildrensVoices #MentalHealthMatters #DanielaRyfFoundation

1 AFRIpad kit = 1 year of dignity. 🌸 Did you know: Without pads, many girls miss up to 20% of school days? Together, we’re changing that. #DanielaRyfFoundation #heartforkenya #makingchangetogether
