You in Africa

About

You in Africa started in 2018 when Lucas Tilhaqui went to Kenya and faced the reality of extreme poverty and precarious conditions in which people lived. He could not just watch it, so he decided to take action.

The project would never have happened if Lucas had to change all this sadness reality on his own, so with help from some friends they started everything.

You in Africa started feeding 20 children per day in Thika and currently feeds more than 400 children every day in 4 different communities. The project also provides education, recreation, and healthy.
