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
MTK Elevate Media visits Our Ministry
Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting MTK Elevate Media, led by their founder, Michael Kalu, and his wife and business partner, Joelle Thinga. They traveled from Mombasa to visit our ministry in Chebaiywa, and their visit was more than just a media project—it was an opportunity to capture the essence of what He is the Remedy is all about and to inspire the next generation of young creatives within our community.
Bringing Our Story to Life
MTK Elevate Media’s journey from the coastal city of Mombasa to the heart of our village was a significant one. Their mission was to document and highlight the transformative work happening here, from our football program to our various community outreach initiatives. Michael Kalu and his team spent days with us, carefully capturing the daily rhythms of our ministry. Through their lens, they showcased not just the activities we engage in but the deep impact these efforts have on the lives of those we serve.
From the joyful energy on the football field to the quiet moments of prayer and reflection in our community meetings, MTK Elevate Media skillfully documented it all. Their work will allow us to share our story more effectively with supporters, partners, and potential donors, showing them the real, tangible difference their support makes.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Michael Kalu’s visit wasn’t just about capturing footage; it was also about giving back to our community. Many of our football players have expressed an interest in the arts, particularly in media and photography. Recognizing this, Michael took the time to hold teaching sessions with them. He shared his expertise in media arts, offering valuable insights into photography, videography, and storytelling through film.
These sessions were incredibly well-received. The players were not only excited to learn from a professional but were also inspired to explore new creative avenues. In a country where the media industry is rapidly growing, there are increasing job and business opportunities in this field. Michael’s encouragement and practical advice have sparked a new wave of enthusiasm among our players, some of whom are now seriously considering careers in media arts.
Launching a New Online Presence
Joelle Thinga, who is working closely with Michael and is an integral part of MTK Elevate Media, also played a key role during their visit. Joelle is currently working with us to launch our new website, which will serve as a vital platform for sharing our mission, updates, and opportunities for involvement. Her expertise in business and media is helping to create an online presence that will not only showcase the impact of our ministry but also engage and inspire our global community of supporters. We’re excited about the new possibilities this website will bring and grateful for Joelle’s dedication to bringing it to life.
Expanding Horizons
The visit from MTK Elevate Media was a reminder of the power of collaboration and the importance of exposing our young people to new opportunities. By encouraging them to explore media arts, we’re helping to open doors that could lead to fulfilling careers and entrepreneurial ventures. This aligns perfectly with our mission to empower the next generation, not just spiritually and socially, but also economically.
We are incredibly grateful to Michael Kalu, Joelle Thinga, and their team for their time, expertise, and willingness to invest in our community. The impact of their visit will be felt long after they’ve returned to Mombasa, as our young people begin to explore new creative paths inspired by their teachings.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to build on the momentum from this visit, we are excited about the potential for future collaborations and the opportunities that lie ahead for our young creatives. We look forward to sharing the final media pieces produced by MTK Elevate Media, which will undoubtedly bring our ministry’s story to life in a powerful way.
Stay tuned for updates and insights from the sessions, as well as the incredible stories captured during their time here. And who knows? Perhaps the next great Kenyan filmmaker is among our ranks, just waiting for the right opportunity to shine.
