Every great river begins with a single drop of rain or water for that matter. For the Jack and Emily Foundation, that drop fell in 1997. It was the year Jack and Emily left the bustling life of Nairobi, not for a vacation, but to answer a profound calling to serve the community of Nyeri, in Central Kenya – The mountain region.
Their mission was simple yet powerful: to plant a church that was more than just a building. They envisioned a place of “faith in action,” where the spiritual and physical needs of the community were met with equal passion. As they shared the gospel, they also shared their food. As they prayed for families, they also built homes for the forgotten, like ex-prisoners seeking a second chance.
This wasn’t just charity; it was love made practical, visible, and transformative.
What started with one church plant organically grew into a movement of compassion. They began sponsoring the education of orphaned and needy children, seeing potential where others saw poverty. They fed vulnerable families, restoring not just their strength but their dignity. Their work, rooted in their core values of compassion and faith, began to ripple outwards.
From the green hills of Nyeri to the arid, sun-scorched lands of Turkana, Laikipia, and Marsabit, the Jack and Emily Foundation became a beacon of hope. They provided food and school uniforms during devastating famines and even rebuilt a vandalized Children’s Department office, proving that no need was too big or too small.
Today, the Jack and Emily Foundation carries the legacy of that initial act of faith. Every child fed, every student sponsored, and every family uplifted is a testament to their vision: to see transformed communities where dignity is restored and hope is renewed.
This is more than a history lesson; it’s an invitation. An invitation to be part of a story that is still being written. Your support doesn’t just fund a project; it continues a legacy of unwavering faith and life-changing action.
