Mahala Love
Mahala Love was founded in 2017 by Dr. Ken Kelly and his sister, Robin Kelly-Goss. While our long-term vision encompasses the essential “four pillars of support”—access to clean water, nutritious food, shelter, and health care—our immediate work and heartbeat live in regenerative food systems, a mission we are taking even deeper through the development of Ikhaya Sanctuary.
Together with our teammates in South Africa, Cinderela Van Staden, Themba Chauke, and Stephen Nkomadzinja, our projects continue to develop and grow. Their dedication, countless encouraging conversations and ideas, and continuous hard work are what keep things moving despite any setbacks. While our shelter, water, and health initiatives will naturally expand as we evolve, right now we are fully focused on putting regenerative agriculture and food security into action.
Mahala Love is pleased to announce we have completed our transition to public charity status. We are extremely grateful to Camden Methodist Church, which stepped in as our temporary Fiscal Sponsor during the process from Private Foundation to Public Charity. We are ready for our next phase of growth starting in September 2026!
