Alonyo Foundation
Alonyo Foundation is a newly formed nonprofit — this page will grow into field updates and program milestones. For now, here's how we're getting started.
We've filed our Articles of Incorporation under Chapter 504 of the Iowa Code, organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, and are pursuing recognition as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
Joyce Alonyo Oringa (President/Chair), Kira Lyons (Vice President/Vice Chair), Emma Oreste (Treasurer), and Richard Oringa (Secretary) will govern the Foundation — which has no voting members.
Clean water & WASH, humanitarian assistance, health, education, economic resilience, and partnerships — the six goals that will guide every program we run.
The community context behind our decision to focus our first work on Omeo and other underserved communities in Magwi County.
UNICEF estimates that 59% of people in South Sudan lack access to safe water and 2.8 million children are out of school — the scale of need behind our mission.
Before our first program launches, we're building relationships with local and international partners and putting financial controls in place.
