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.

Win, Lose, and Draw: A Season of Challenges and Victories
As we reach the halfway point of the season, the Chebaiywa Football Club stands strong with 15 wins, 2 losses, and 6 draws, maintaining our position at the top of the league. The second half of the season has been far more challenging, as other teams seem determined to knock us from our first-place spot—by any means necessary. Despite facing cheating, bribery, rough play, and even ringers, our boys remain resolute in their faith, stepping onto the field each time with integrity and determination.
This theme of "win, lose, and draw" extends beyond the football field and seems to encapsulate our experiences over the past two months. We've faced numerous challenges, from disciplinary actions to difficult counseling sessions. Yet, through it all, we've also seen incredible victories that remind us of why we do this work.
Wins: From the Field to the Community
One of the most significant wins came when the team was invited to the home of an older couple from a neighboring village. This was no ordinary invitation; the couple is Muslim, and they asked our team to come for tea and pray for them. It was a powerful reminder that faith transcends barriers and that our work is touching lives in unexpected ways.
Another major win is the success of our farms. The quality and quantity of our harvests have exceeded expectations, attracting the attention of other local farmers who visit our fields to learn our methods. These conversations always begin with our guys sharing about Jesus, intertwining their agricultural success with their faith.
A Loss That Became a Huge Win
Kinda, one of our football players, has had an incredible transformation journey. Once struggling with alcohol and drug problems, Kinda’s life took a turn when he found faith in Jesus. So much so that the team elected him as their captain. However, Kinda and his wife, who were living as caretakers in someone else's home, faced a crisis when the owners decided to return and asked them to move out.
Kinda had saved what little money he could to buy materials to build his own home, but the situation was dire, with his wife being seven months pregnant. When Kinda approached us for help, we discovered that the materials he had bought were inadequate. Our team sprang into action, finding better materials and ensuring Kinda’s new home was built properly. His teammates joyfully participated in the construction, turning a potential loss into a resounding win. The home will be dedicated on August 27th.
Challenges and Prayers Needed
Not all challenges have turned into immediate victories. We’ve been working with two young brothers who were semi-abandoned by their mother. Despite our best efforts to support them and reconnect them with their mother, she has left again, showing little interest in their well-being. This situation is heartbreaking, and we are partnering with other ministries and authorities to ensure these boys have a future filled with hope and promise. Your prayers for Brian and Dennis would be greatly appreciated.
We are also facing uncertainty with our work permits and visas, which expire soon. While we have taken all necessary steps for renewal, the process is fraught with bureaucratic challenges. We are trusting in God’s plan but ask for your prayers as we navigate this difficult situation.
Ending on a High Note
Despite the struggles, we have experienced moments of pure joy and gratitude. We were honored to attend a celebration for our dear friend Florence, who received the Hero’s Award from the Republic of Kenya for her service to her church, community, and country—the highest civilian honor.
Another significant win came when our football players stepped up to donate blood for patients in need, despite having worked hard all day. Their selflessness and willingness to help others, even when tired and hungry, filled our hearts with pride.
