„Hope doesn't need to be created. It just needs an open door."
Our Goals
Build a generation that will live in freedom, because they are the hope and future of their nation.
Support the growth of children and the whole community. Point to and strengthen who they are in Christ.
Show the youth of Kenya God's character through sport, art and creativity, and use them as a means of expressing love for God.
Share their relationship with God in the local community.
Why this community?
We have strong connections with local people who are working to help their community, both practically and in their spiritual growth.
What does the community struggle with?
Poverty, unemployment, and lack of job opportunities — even for educated young people. Most leave for big cities but find it difficult there too. The slim chance of positive change leads to a loss of hope, and many fall into addiction to alcohol and other drugs. We believe that nurturing creative development can also help them find solutions to their often difficult life situations.
