Helping Children in Kenya Through Joy and Community
Protopia believes a child's circumstances should never define their potential. We're creating a movement across Kenya to help every child thrive.
From Grandmother's Legacy to Kenya's Future
Protopia was born from founder Brianna Thomas's desire to continue her grandmother Wilma Jean's "Fun in the Sun" gatherings—and a profound experience with the Ronald McDonald House when her daughter was born at just 22 weeks.
The kindness they received ignited a fire to do something "big for the world," bringing the spirit of community and hope to the children of Kenya.

Mentorship & Growth
Safe spaces for essential conversations. Sessions for girls on womanhood and guidance for boys on becoming responsible, empathetic men.
Joy & Community
Life should be celebrated. Games, activities, and a festive environment where children can simply be children.
