Help me share JOY and LOVE to widows and orphans in Kenya!

God has given me the opportunity to serve in Nairobi, Kenya. I work with nonprofit organizations, The Go Near Ministry and James 127 Foundation.  Go Near Ministry aims to “empower the poor through skill training, education and community development projects.” In addition to Go Near, I will also be working alongside Anna Taylor to continue her work with her nonprofit, James 127 Foundation. This organization focuses on vocational training of widows and production of clothing for Judith & James clothing line. James 127 Foundation is a nonprofit organization, launched out of Go Near Ministry’s Sewing Training Empowerment Program. They bring God’s hope and love to impoverished women by providing sewing training and care for women in Kenya. They receive sewing training for eighteen months, participate in monthly feeding assistance and graduate with National Kenya Tailoring certification. 

James 127 Foundation is guided by the Scripture found in James 1:27, “This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of God to visit widows and orphans in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.”

I am serving as the Kenyan operations manager. I regularly meet with the widows involved in the sewing program, women who have graduated from the sewing training to be the onsite manager person and manage the production of sewing projects.

I would like to invite you to share in this excitement with me! I started this fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that I need for the mission. Every donation is important and will enable me to be present and help others in need. Would you kindly consider making a donation? Also, I would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate. In addition, I would greatly appreciate your prayers as I continue to pursue the Lord's hand in my journey to Kenya.
