Serving the most vulnerable in Kenya
Giving often feels like a transaction: you give, and you never hear what happened. At Waweza Movement, we pair your gift with programs and businesses led by local leaders, creating a flywheel of lasting change for Kenya's widows, orphans and children with disabilities. And every month, Megan writes to tell you what your gift is doing.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress." James 1:27
You've given before and heard nothing back.
Your generosity deserves better than a transaction. That's why we built something different.
Rescue. Restore. Develop.
Most children in crisis aren't unwanted. Their families just can't support them yet. So everything we do in Kakamega works toward children rooted in families that can stand on their own.
Finding those in crisis
Orphans, widows and children with disabilities. Our team reaches them by motorbike and on foot, with care, medicine and food.
Families back together, and strong
Children placed with relatives, and widows building businesses so their households can stand.
School, skills, and a future
Orphaned students through college and trade school, and a farm that trains neighbors to do more with their land.
When we met one widow, she and her children were living in an abandoned storefront. Her neighbors cut the trees and built the frame; Waweza paid to finish her new home, and helped her open a small fruit and vegetable business.
Each turn, more of the work pays for itself
Our US team is all volunteers. And we didn't stop at direct care: our farm and businesses lower what the work costs, so every year the next gift goes further.
