Our Projects

JWHS Crisis Center
Worked with children and communities to address the needs of orphaned and abandoned children and reunite families in and around Nakuru, Kenya
As a registered children’s home, we took in orphaned and abandoned children and cared for them while we searched for, identified, and helped to prepare families to reunite with their children in a supportive way.

STEMS: Success Through Education, Money and Support: This project along with the Gordon Clem Scholars project assesses the educational needs of children and how that can best be supported. This project often buys uniforms, school supplies, pays school fees and assists to provide support for children’s education in Kenya.
