Building Together

11 Homes in 11 Months

< Providing Shelter, Restoring Dignity >

Driven by compassion, our 11 Homes in 11 Months project was launched to address the urgent need for safe, secure housing. Many families in our community were living in dire conditions, often in homes that were barely standing. Some were forced to seek shelter in dark fields, broken-down buildings, and abandoned structures where they were at constant risk of disease from rats and death from snake bites. Others, marginalized and stigmatized as squatters, had illegally built makeshift homes on railroad land, living under the constant threat of eviction.

These families faced not only physical dangers but also the emotional toll of being excluded and looked down upon by the wider community. Through this initiative, we have built 11 new homes in just 11 months, providing these families with a safe, secure place to call their own.

More than just a structure, each home represents a fresh start, restoring their dignity and offering a foundation for a brighter, more hopeful future.

Widows' Ecomonic

Empowerment

< Rebuilding lives & Strengthening community >

In Kenya, women are often the backbone of a strong economy, especially when given the right tools and opportunities. However, when a woman loses her husband, she is frequently left with little to nothing, struggling to support herself and her family. Recognizing this challenge, He is the Remedy has focused on empowering over 300 widows in 3 widows groups through sustainable economic initiatives.

By providing resources and training in projects such as sheep rearing and soap making, we have enabled a local widows' support group to earn a livelihood and regain their sense of independence. These initiatives not only help these women to support themselves financially but also restore their dignity and place within the community.

Through their hard work, these widows are rebuilding their lives, contributing to the local economy, and becoming strong, empowered members of society. The impact of this program goes beyond individual success—it strengthens the entire community by turning vulnerability into resilience and hope.

“The home that He is the Remedy provided my family transformed our lives. Living on railroad land, our house was being torn down every year and we were often homeless. Through the love of Jesus Christ, our entire family was able to come out of poverty.”

Sponsorhip of

Student School Fees

The Kenyan government promotes the idea of free education for all children, but the reality is often very different. Families are burdened with hidden costs such as book fees, tutor fees, and uniform fees, which can be overwhelming, especially for those living in poverty. These additional expenses mean that many children end up missing several years of their education simply because their families cannot afford to send them to school. Recognizing the potential in these young individuals, He is the Remedy has stepped in to sponsor a handful of promising students who show exceptional drive and determination.

Our sponsorship program ensures that these children have the support they need from the start to the finish of their education, helping them overcome financial barriers and giving them the opportunity to realize their full potential. Through this initiative, we are not just providing access to education; we are investing in the future leaders of our community.

Bible - Based

Youth Camps

During the school break season, our BLAST Evangelical team, composed of dedicated football players, runs a vibrant Bible-based Youth camp designed to positively influence the next generation. These camps are more than just a way to keep children and teens occupied—they are a critical part of our mission to protect young people from the dangers of idleness, drugs, and homelessness that many of our team members faced in their own lives. The BLAST team is deeply passionate about their role in shaping the future of their community, and they pour their hearts into these camps, teaching biblical principles, building character, and fostering a sense of purpose in the children.

By engaging with the youth in these formative years, we aim to guide them away from the paths of despair and towards lives filled with hope, faith, and the potential for positive change. These camps are not just about fun and games; they are about laying the groundwork for a stronger, more resilient community, one child at a time.

Updates from Kenya

Turkana mission

From Turkana to Transformation

June 20, 20252 min read

At He Is the Remedy, we continue to stand in awe of what God is doing across Kenya—and we're thrilled to bring you into the story.

Recently, our team returned from an unforgettable outreach to Turkana, one of Kenya’s most drought-stricken, food-insecure regions. It was there that over 1,000 families were fed, and the Gospel was boldly shared in word and action.

What we witnessed was more than a mission—it was a move of God.

🎥 Watch It for Yourself:

Feel the joy. Hear the worship. Witness the impact.


🚌 The BLAST Bus Has Arrived!

After years of prayer, perseverance, and dreaming forward—the BLAST Bus is here!

This is a game-changer for our ministry. With this new vehicle, we can now safely transport:

  • Our youth football teams

  • Evangelism and outreach crews

  • Supplies for food distribution and events

    The blast bus arrives

🎶 The best part? The team sang songs of joy when it rolled in.
Head to our [Facebook] and [Instagram] to watch their reactions and celebrate with us!


🙏 A Redemption Story: Festus’ Recovery

We’re humbled and proud to share the story of Festus, who recently completed a 90-day recovery program. Not only did he graduate—he was honoured for his leadership and spiritual growth during the process.

Now fully surrendered to Christ, Festus feels a new call stirring in his heart:

“I want to speak to high school boys—share my testimony, and warn them about the dangers of alcohol and drugs.”

A broken past is becoming a platform for purpose.

Please pray with us for:

  • Open doors and favour for Festus’ new ministry vision

  • Continued protection, healing, and wisdom as he steps into leadership

🌱 Coming Soon: A Legacy of Land

We’re preparing to launch what we believe is our most pivotal project yet:
A 2-Year Land Campaign that will secure a permanent base for the mission.

Why does this matter?

  • End renting and plant roots

  • Expand sustainable farming initiatives

  • Build facilities to host mission teams

  • Establish a lasting home for community ministry

📢 More details are coming soon—but know this:
We’re building not just for now, but for generations.


💛 Thank You for Building with Us

From Turkana to the BLAST Bus, from Festus’ recovery to the land we hope to call home—you are in every story.

Your prayers. Your giving. Your belief in this mission.

You are helping build something eternal.
