Every day, children of incarcerated parents encounter obstacles beyond their control—emotional trauma, social isolation, and the stigma of parental imprisonment. Your generous donation holds the power to transform these young lives and their communities!

Who we are: Founded in 2024 by a father and daughter deeply impacted by parental incarceration, The Enai Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to breaking generational cycles by empowering youth ages 10–25. Our mission is supporting the well-being and self-sufficiency of children who face the unique challenges associated with having an incarcerated parent.

What we do: We provide free virtual peer support groups, individual counseling, case management, and recreational activities, offering safe spaces for youth and families to heal, grow, and thrive.

Our need: We’re actively seeking referrals and community partners to help raise awareness and ignite hope across homes, neighborhoods, cities, and states. Donate today and join us in empowering the next generation.

Your contribution: Join the movement. Visit our website to donate, refer a family, or share our services with those who need support. Together, we can create lasting change for the children of incarcerated parents.
