OUR STORY
Putting God’s Work in Action
Hope for the Destitute is a nonprofit organization in Kisumu, Kenya that provides educational support for orphaned children and shelter for needy widows. Many children are orphaned as a result of the high prevalence of HIV and AIDS in this country and are left in the care of elderly relatives who have no source of income. Education is not free in Kenya, and many students are unable to access it, leading to unemployment and a continual chain of poverty within their families. Hope for the Destitute ensures that orphaned children can access education as well as be nurtured spiritually in Lutheran teachings and devotions. We welcome you to be part of the Lord’s work through monthly or yearly donations.
HOPE ACADEMY
We educate children from pre-school through 9th grade in a loving, Christ-centered environment. Many of our students are orphans or come from extremely vulnerable families.
WIDOW SHELTER PROGRAM
Our shelter program provides housing for widows–many of whom are raising their orphaned grandchildren. Your donation goes to build a safe, secure home–giving them protection, dignity, and hope for a better tomorrow.
