History

Child Sponsorship

The HHI Child Sponsorship Program started with children from the Rakwaro, Kenya village.  While the quality of this 2019 trip video is not great, the strong, sweet voices of the children our Volunteers went to visit is clear: "We are so happy to welcome you to our school.  Our guest, you know we love you!"

Child Sponsorship (expanded)

In 2021, HHI was asked if we would support 38 children from the Bethany Education Centre (BEC) in the Kawangware slum and 5 children from the Destiny Junior Academy (DJA) in the Mathare slum of Nairobi, Kenya.  BEC serves about 650 students, feeds the children a hot breakfast and lunch (which for most students is the only meal they receive during the day), and teaches about Jesus on a daily basis.  

Scholarship Program

In 2021, we also announced a new College Scholarship Program to help students who were interested in pursuing a higher education through a local college or trade school in their area. 

Feeding Program

As of March 2022, we announced a new Saturday Feed Program in Nairobi, which is expected to feed 1,600 students (from Mcedo Beijing School, BEC and DJA) each week, which is >80k meals by the end of the year!  As of 2023, our Child Sponsorship and College Trade Scholarship Programs had over 200 students, on a combined basis, and we continued to feed approximately 1,600 students each week through our Saturday Feed Program - praise the LORD! 

Women's Saving Program

In 2022, we began a Women's Savings & Loan program in Kenya through a partnership with an Oregon church and using the  Chalmers' Restore curriculum (see sample video attached).  Our program teaches women over an 8-10 month period how to save money, encourage each other, and  take small loans from their local Women's savings group.  The curriculum is all Biblically based is  designed for third world countries.  We now have it going on in three parts of Kenya with over 100 women involved.
