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.

Our first food outreach of 2024 was a huge success

TRUTH
A portion of last years maize harvest plus, sugar, tea, rice, green grams, cooking oil, bathing soap, sanitary napkins, deworming pills and multi-vitamins along with bags of clean and in good condition second hand clothes were taken to two communities in West Pokot. Our team had previously visited this area and met with a local pastor as well as the area chief and confirmed the people of this area were in desperate need of food relief. This area of Kenya is dry and arid and not good ground for agriculture. They have not been receiving enough rain for maize or other vegetables to grow to maturity. Maize is like money. No maize is the equivalent of no money in the bank. A good maize harvest can sustain a family until next years harvest. This community has not had a descent maize harvest in 7 years.
Our team shared food with 1000 families, visited 3 schools providing deworming medicine and multi-vitamins to more than 500 young children and delivered cases of sanitary napkins to a girls junior high school. In secondary boarding school, (high school), sanitary napkins are a required item for female students to have. Not so in junior high. School fees are difficult enough for families to raise, the additional cost of sanitary napkins can be impossible. Junior high girls ages can range from 11 to 15 and even older. Some familes cannot afford to send their children to school consistently resulting in older children in lower grade levels. Lack of pads causes delimes we can't even imagine in the US. Girls miss a week of school every month or worse they do unthinkable things for a few dollars to buy napkins so they can attend school. Neither option is acceptable! No doubt this breaks Gods heart.
God grew our young evangelist team during this outreach. Some had never spoken publicly yet they preached the word of God boldly. Some had never been outside their own village and were crushed by the weight of poverty and oppression in the lives of their own countrymen. Some had never prayed for others but they quickly learned that the Holy Spirit in them is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, and above all we ask or think. Eph. 3:20
People came with an interesting aray of containers to receive their portion of cooking oil. Plastic bottles, bowls, multiple small empty water bottles and even a teapot. Pretty much anything that they could carry oil home in.
Your prayers and financial support are what makes these events possible. We are aware of the craziness going on in the US and globally. We also know we serve a God who is greater than all of the corruption, sickness, broken economies and craziness. People are still hurting, hungry and in need of a Savior. We know that your financial support comes at a sacrifice and we are extremely humbled and honored that you continue to choose to partner with us. Asante sana!
We know who owns the cattle on a thousand hills!
Together we can make a difference for the Kingdom of God!
He is the Remedy has a main objective of discipleship. To disciple new and young believers there must first be a relationship. Food outreaches, football, farming and job creation, weekly bible studies and devotions, and building homes, these "works" put us and our team in relationship with others. Some who don't know Jesus, some who have been fed a false teaching, some new believers and even some long time "believers" who have never been given the opportunity to meet Jesus. To disciple we first need to know them and that takes intentional effort on our part. We disciple our team so they can disciple others and that is how the Kingdom of God grows. Matthew 28:19-20
Each day of food outreach ended with an evening crusade. So many people came forward for prayer. Our team was grateful for the volunteer interpreters as the people of this area only speak Pokot which is their mother or tribe tongue. Many do not even speak Kiswahili the national language. Questions such as "what does it mean to be born again" and "how can I know Jesus" were asked. Sadly, these questions came from people who regularly attend a local church.
PRAYER POINTS
Please pray for Gods will to be done in our lives and ministry.
Please pray for brothers and sisters to see the value in investing in our ministry work.
Please pray with us for financial support above and beyond our ability to comprehend. We are so blessed to be where we are and pray that God continues to use us for His glory.
Always pray that God be glorified in everything we do, say and think.
Pray for the people of West Pokot who endure unimaginable hardship just to survive until Jesus comes again.
