How it all started

It all began in 2016 when we first traveled to a remote Massai village in Kenya. Joel’s village as it was called, is tucked between a series of hills on the northern shores of Lake Natron. Once we arrived, we were immediately struck by the sheer lack of services available to the community. The school consisted of a small structure built from sticks that lacked benches or chairs. The students used twigs and rocks to practice handwriting and arithmetic. Drinking water was scarce, forcing villagers to trudge to nearby streams to retrieve it. Despite everything, we were amazed by the resilience of the locals who were always smiling, laughing and singing, exuding a type of happiness that few of us had ever seen before.

The enthusiasm and grit exhibited by the residents of Joel’s village inspired us to help in any way possible. We first began by constructing a school which now has over 200 students. We then built a small medical clinic, and a church.

What began in Joel’s village, has now spread to over 20 countries worldwide. From sponsoring orphans in Rwanda, to providing displaced and persecuted minorities in the Middle East with food and medication, to digging wells and building sustainable projects in Africa, the list is long and extends to four continents. So far, we have assisted more than 26,000 people of the poorest and most vulnerable, especially widows, women-at-risk and orphans. With your support we will continue to feed the poor, build schools and small medical clinics, and introduce renewable resources to thousands of people in forgotten regions of the world.
