Widows Christmas Food Blessing: Feed a Widow and Her Family This Christmas
In Kenya and Tanzania, Christmas means gathering around the table to eat. For many widows, that table is empty. This Christmas, Pamoja Love’s Widows Project is delivering 2,500 food baskets to widows and their families, and you can fill one.
One basket is $35 per family and gives a widow and her family a week of Christmas meals. Each basket contains rice, beans, flour, maize, cooking oil, sugar, salt, tea, soap and matches.
Our goal is 2,500 food baskets by December 10th. Choose your gift below to bless one family or several.
1 basket (1 family): $35
2 baskets (2 families): $70
5 baskets (5 families): $175
10 baskets (10 families): $350
Businesses: match the blessing
We’re looking for businesses to match gifts to the Widows Christmas Food Blessing. When your business matches, every $35 basket becomes two, feeding twice as many widows and their families this Christmas. To become a matching partner, email hello@pamoja.love.

Cheer Her On: Sponsor a Young Mama in Kibera
Every great team is made of people who show up for each other. Together, we’re a movement, and this season we’re showing up for young mamas in Kibera Slum, Nairobi.
Through The Dignity Project | Lily Among Thorns, young mamas walk through a two-year program that gives them the skills, support and faith to build a future for themselves and their children. Each mama receives job skills training, mentoring, discipleship, counseling and parenting skills, plus seed money to start her own business. She also gains a circle of support with other young mamas, women who walk alongside her and cheer her on.
Sponsor a young mama for $55 a month. You’ll receive her story, mailed to you, and quarterly updates on her, her children and the program. Monthly sponsorship is the heart of this work, and one-time gifts are welcome too.
Next Up: 2007 Team Trips
Every Pamoja Love team trip is an invitation to step into a story God was already telling. We travel to Kenya and Tanzania to walk alongside local leaders who serve their communities every day, and our teams have room for many different gifts. You might build a home for a widow, roll up your sleeves on a community project, or lead a soccer training and then join the game. You could serve at a medical clinic, wash feet and care for children at a jigger clinic, or share your skills in technology with schools and local leaders. You’ll spend time with children and the teachers who pour into them at our partner schools, and sit with families and widows on home visits, where the most meaningful moments often happen over a cup of chai. We come as learners, not as people with all the answers, and we measure each trip by the people we come to know rather than the projects we finish.
Our 2027 teams travel in the spring and summer, and there’s a place for you in this story. You can join a team yourself, or support one of the team members listed below as they prepare to go. Then keep scrolling to see the different projects you can support.

Join a Team Initiative
Our Team Initiatives highlight projects that individual team members have chosen to champion as they prepare for the October journey. Working alongside our local leaders, these initiatives provide an opportunity for others to participate in tangible acts of hope. This season, two team members are each fundraising to build a widow's home, complete with a concrete floor and basic furnishings, helping create a place of safety, dignity, and a fresh beginning for two widows and their families.
Widow's Home + Furnishings
This project will provide a newly built home complete with a concrete floor, essential furnishings, and the simple necessities that turn a structure into a place of comfort and belonging. A secure home offers protection from the elements, improved health, and the stability needed to begin rebuilding life after loss. Through this initiative, Deni is inviting others to help provide not just a house, but a place where hope can take root.
Goal: $1,700
The Dignity Project
This project provides training, supplies, and seed money for business start up.
Goal: $1,500
Jigger Clinic + Shoes
This initiative will help provide a community jigger clinic where children and adults receive treatment for painful jigger infestations, along with a new pair of shoes to help protect their feet from future infection. For many families, something as simple as proper footwear can make a lasting difference in their health, mobility, and ability to attend school or work. By supporting this project, you are helping restore comfort, dignity, and hope while providing practical care that has an immediate and lasting impact.
Goal: $500
