Kenya Team Trip | November 1–16, 2025
Step into real stories. See lives transformed—including your own.
Join us for an unforgettable two weeks in Kenya as we walk alongside widows, young mamas, and children- offering encouragement, presence, and tangible support in communities marked by both struggle and strength.
We’ll begin in Nairobi, spending time at a vibrant educational center in Kibera Slum. There, you’ll meet students, visit homes, and support young mothers through empowerment training and connection. Then we’ll travel west, where our team will build homes for widows, assist in a jigger clinic, and join in ongoing mentorship with local leaders through our Widows' Project.
One of the most powerful parts of our trip will take us deep into the hills of Pokot - an extremely remote region where we’ll visit a small but growing school, encourage teachers and families, share a meal through a feeding program, and spend time with a local discipleship group that’s changing lives from the inside out.
This isn’t a trip to fix or rescue - it’s a chance to show up fully.
To step into real stories.
To carry hope into hard places.
And, yes, to come home changed.
If something in you feels nudged - if you're ready to do something that matters -
say yes.
Let’s go.
Cost: $2750 + airfare and travel visa’s

Across Kenya and Tanzania, there are women still holding up what their husbands once led with them - churches, ministries, communities. But widowhood has changed how they’re seen. The responsibility remains, but the support is gone, and in many ways, so is the dignity they once had.
Many of these women face new challenges within their culture - stigmas that minimize their voice, grief that goes unnamed, and nowhere truly safe to talk about it.
What This Is
Rooted and Rising is a four-day retreat in Western Kenya - a pause for widowed leaders who’ve been holding everything together with no space to fall apart. They’ve kept going, carrying what they once led alongside their husbands. The burden to show up is still on them - but their rights and voices have been minimized.
This retreat offers room to breathe, grieve, share, pray, learn, and be reminded: God has not forgotten them. He’s still moving. These women are not done. They are women of value, leaders - rooted in truth, rising in strength, and carrying others with them.

Dream Team Member: Lois. | Widow’s Home
“There was a day she (Lois) was called to go, to see, to experience and to do. She was headed to Tanzania with a team from the Pacific Northwest. They would be spending two plus weeks in this beautiful land brimming with opportunity to love and serve, working with local partners, reaching out to those who were experiencing deep pain and hardship. Lois understood pain and hardship, she was a widow. She had experienced the pain of loss and she had much love to offer.”
…
“A little over ten years later Lois would hear of another heartbreaking story of a widow from her friends, the local leaders that she had worked with earlier in Tanzania. They shared the following: “She is called Ruth, her husband died 5 years ago, when…”. A home that was crumbling, a woman who was trying to hold it together. What did Lois do? She built a home for Ruth, and she is eager to do more, the home is still in need of furnishings and a concrete floor (to eliminate the concern of jigger infestation).
…
Lois is an inspiration, she is committed to reaching out with hope by spreading awareness and by providing tangible needs. She understands that love looks like something, and she wants to see it on the move. Will you join her?
