One Heart is designed to induct their young inhabitants into an immersive experience of the world around them. The soils, the native grasslands and plants, and the domesticated animals are gathered together with the assemblage of structures to coexist and to ensure that the mission of study through immersion is achieved.

One Heart is sited within a farm community in rural western Kenya near the large city of Eldoret. This area has a high poverty rate and many children do not attend school; these are the new students of the eight acre community. The village is a place for living, learning, and growing for 400 day students, 112 full time student residents, their guardian dorm parents, and a vital faculty. The homes, schools, community meeting hall, training center, and farm provide a place of nurture and education so that dozens of children can find a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
