ABOUT US

We the members of Minto Association having come this far from Africa (Kenya) to the United States of America (USA), acknowledge that we are still inherently connected with our friends and family members back home, who continues to look upon us for financial moral, and social support during times of joy and distress.
In addition, we are acutely aware of the social, environmental, and cultural challenges posed upon us as immigrants in our new land. As such, we resolve through the spirit of Ubuntu 'lam because of who we all are,' that permeates every aspect of our lives to create this charitable organization by the name Minto Association to help us mitigate those challenges whenever they arise.
We Offer moral and financial support to members in times of bereavement and or misfortunes.
