World Relief

Three years ago, the roof of Nayenae’s home sagged and its walls crumbled. When the rains came, she had to seek refuge in a neighbor’s home in her village in Turkana, Kenya. Then her church community noticed she’d stopped coming and they refused to let her be forgotten.

Neighbors and faith leaders gathered to pray, mobilize support and build her a safer home using locally available materials. They kept showing up, too — visiting regularly with food, water, and practical help that restored dignity and belonging.

We were honored to come alongside — supporting local church leaders as they led a community-owned response. We’ve seen that when churches are equipped to serve, they can reach neighbors quickly and keep showing up, creating lasting change.

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
