This is Our Lady of Mercy School

Located in Bahati, Nakuru, serving children from Kindergarten through 8th grade.

The school receives our support and serves a community facing significant challenges. Many families come from highly impoverished and often unstable circumstances, making it difficult to pay school fees consistently. Some of the students also live with disabilities, further increasing the need for care, patience, and support. With minimal government assistance available to public schools, children are often taught in extremely basic conditions, including makeshift huts used as classrooms, dirt floors, and instruction that still relies on blackboards and chalk.

Many students arrive at school hungry each day. In response, we are prayerfully working toward launching a school feeding program, beginning with the provision of daily porridge, so children can learn with nourishment, focus, and dignity.

Your generosity helps make this possible, bringing practical support, hope, and opportunity to children who are eager to learn and deeply deserving of care.

 

Christmas Day in Nakuru

Serving a meal to the homeless and a local boys’ football team.

The football team was formed as an outreach and mentoring effort, created to support young boys from an impoverished neighborhood and give them something positive to belong to. Alongside sports and community, we are intentionally discipling these young men. Recently, we have been teaching from Ephesians 6:1–9, focusing on God’s design for the family: healthy relationships, godly roles, respect, and discipline.

Through consistent presence, structure, and care, the program helps steer these boys away from the gangs and criminal influences that are sadly prevalent in their town, offering them guidance, stability, and hope.

These moments reflect the quiet power of presence: meeting immediate needs while planting seeds of purpose, identity, and lasting transformation.

Why James 1:27

Why James 1:27

James 1:27 “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widow in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” This is the Word of the Living God! He has commissioned us to do this work. God loves widows so much. When the Lord gave us this name, I was deeply moved by the word “religion”.

Anna the Widow

Widows like Anna keep the fire of the altar burning. She did not depart from the altar. She kept on praying. God often uses them to prophesy His will over lives and to encourage and enlighten the people of God, just like Anna did at Jesus’ birth.
