WHERE WE SERVE
Where We Serve
Four Schools. Long-Term Relationships.
Our work grows through relationships with headteachers at each school. Each partnership is shaped by the school’s individual needs and the resources from our ministry partners.
Nduchi Primary School
Nduchi is the first school we started to serve in 2016. Our partnership support has grown each year.
Munyu-ini Primary School
At Munyu-ini, we are blessed to have great teacher and parent relationships. This school has seen significant improvement to exam scores since we started the Nourish to Learn program.
Kagio Primary School
At Kagio, we learned that the headteacher prayed for us to visit and partner with his school. Since then, this school has four construction projects and joy is seen throughout the school.
Kirangi Primary School
Kirangi Primary is our most recent school. Our ongoing partnership with this school and headteacher Mr. John has been a blessing to us both. The students at Kirangi are a joy.

BUILD FOR THE FUTURE
Building Places Where Children Can Thrive
A school’s physical environment matters. Build for the Future supports appropriate facility improvements that help create more functional, welcoming and dignified places for students and staff.

The Need
Schools may face infrastructure needs involving learning spaces, kitchens, sanitation or other essential facilities. Priorities should be defined with school leaders and supported by verified plans and budgets.
Practical improvements can help create safer, more dignified school environments.
In action: In 2025, the ministry partnered with Mbagu Builders to construct new latrines at Munyu-ini Primary School. The photographs below document this project.
Our Response
We work with local partners to evaluate projects, develop practical scopes and steward construction resources responsibly. Projects are undertaken as funding and implementation capacity permit.
Local partnership: In 2024, the ministry partnered with Mbagu Builders to refurbish the kitchen at Kirangi Primary School and construct new latrines and a sidewalk at Kagio Primary School.
Faith in Action
Our faith calls us to serve through action. Improving the spaces children use each day is one tangible way we seek to demonstrate Christ’s love.
We serve children and communities with dignity and compassion, regardless of religious background. Assistance is not conditioned on participation in religious activities.
Practical service: The 2023 projects included kitchens at Munyu-ini and Kagio Primary Schools, and tiling and exhaust venting at Nduchi Primary School.
Honoring the Bennett Sims Memorial Construction Fund
Established in 2018 in memory of founding board member Bennett Sims, the Bennett Sims Memorial Construction Fund supports the ministry’s refurbishment and construction projects.
The fund remains an important part of our construction heritage. Gifts designated to this fund are administered in accordance with its established purpose and applicable restrictions.
Through faithful generosity and local partnership, this legacy continues to help build places where children can learn and grow.
Projects and Priorities
We will share project descriptions, approved budgets and progress updates as details are verified and available for publication.
Our construction history includes classrooms, kitchens, sanitation, walkways and other improvements to essential school facilities.
A Legacy of Practical Improvements
In 2021, projects included an Early Childhood Development classroom, resurfacing the lower veranda, sinks and wash stations, and a sidewalk connecting the upper and lower wings. Njoroge Furniture also constructed 85 desks for Nduchi students.
Supporting School Nourishment
In 2020, the ministry partnered with Mbagu Builders to construct The Lord’s Kitchen, equipped with three jikos using charcoal or firewood.
Local fundi Timothy Githinjo outfitted the storeroom with shelving and tables for the kitchen.
