Gratitude for our Past Partnerships
We are so thankful for all of the Partners we have had the opportunity to collaborate with in the past. Each one has been an important part of our mission and has taught us so much. All of our Partners have played a key role in getting us to where we are today, and for that we are incredibly grateful.
Tabasamu Watoto Inclusive Centre
Established in 2015, TWIC was our very first Partner and reason behind Connect2Kenya (our original name). TWIC is an early childhood inclusive school in Kibera, Kenya. Our collabortion with TWIC included in-country workshops, online professional development sessions, and community outreach. We will forever be grateful to TWIC for introducing us to the welcoming country of Kenya and the beautiful continent of Africa. Although our missions took different directions at the end of 2025, we are still friends and supporters of their programs.
La Limye' Ministries
La Limye' is a children's home that previously operated in Arcahaie, Haiti. We were able to Partner with Ellen Humerickhouse, the founder, in 2019. During that time, we took two team trips to collaborate with Ellen on her mission to open a learning center for individuals with disabilities. Our Partnership included in-country teacher trainings, home visits, and community outreach. Due to the unrest in Haiti, La Limye's children's home had to relocate to a safer area and the learning center is closed. We are anxious for the day when things calm down in Haiti and we can resume our collaboration with Ellen and her program.
The Vibe
The Vibe is a Memphis, TN based organization that provides social opportunities for adults with disabilities. They became ECI's first stateside Partner is 2024. ECI collaborated with The Vibe for two years to host a prom for teens and adults with disabilities. The prom is still on-going.
