The Kes Foundation
Every child deserves tools that meet them where they are.
The Kes Foundation is a Black, woman-led nonprofit supporting autistic children, children with disabilities, and underserved youth through technology, education, training, autism support, and access to specialized care. It was founded by a Ghanaian-American mother in honor of her son Kes, who is autistic and of Ghanaian, Nigerian, and American heritage.
