This Christmas season, we are preparing to bless widows and vulnerable families in Kenya with food bundles that bring both provision and dignity. Each bundle includes maize flour, beans, oil, sugar, tea, and soap - enough to feed a family for a week.
We are raising funding so even more widows and families in the Maasailand, Western Kenya, Kibera slum, the remote Pokot region, and beyond can experience the joy of being seen and cared for. Together, we can make hope loud and share the love of God in a tangible way this Christmas.
Christmas Food Blessing for Widows.
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.
