GOODProjects is active in Southwest Washington, DC and Kawangware, Nairobi. These aren’t two separate organizations — adapting the GOODZone model to the strengths, needs, and realities of each community.

Since 2016, GOODProjects has built deep roots in the Southwest Public Housing Community in Washington, DC, connecting families to stability, youth to opportunity, and neighbors to each other.
The results are measurable: a 45% reduction in violence since 2022, sustained funder investment, and a community that knows GOODProjects is here for the long term.

The Kawangware slum is GOODProjects’ first international GOODZone, adapting our place-based model to the needs and strengths of a densely populated Nairobi community.
Through the Baxter Family Kids Center, we provide youth development, family support, and community-based programming designed to create stronger pathways for children and families.
Washington, DC and Nairobi are where the GOODZone model operates today — not the limits of where it can go. Our work is designed to adapt to local communities while maintaining the integrated, place-based approach at the core of the model.
