The Blessing Projects

We started our nonprofit with Joel’s village, located in a heavily drought stricken area, on the shores of Lake Natron. It straddles the border between Kenya and Tanzania which creates a problem. Each country tells the villagers to ask for help from its' neighbor.  Joel (the village chief) was destitute in 2016 when Rudy, my husband, first visited the village. I was blessed to meet Joel and the villagers in 2017. I instantly fell in love with the women and children, and the beautiful colors of both the men and women's traditional wraps. The love the women have for their children and their beautiful singing and dancing kept me mesmerized.  

By the grace of God, Joel's little village was transformed into a regional example after two years of hard work, prayer, and personal funds. In August 2016, a church was built, which also served as a school. In the beginning, only 12 children were supported. Today, there are over 230 full-time students. The Blessing Projects provides education, food, and support for each child.  

The last images show the transformation of our little village - we’re making a lot of progress. Because of the support of Family and Friends, along with hard work and answered prayers, our little village is being transformed into a mini paradise. This transformation took place over a 2 year period. We still have a lot of work to do. Every week new kids ask to join our school. 

In 2016, we began work in a remote part of southern Kenya to help a malnourished community of the Masai tribe. 

Our goal in 2018 was to build a clinic, because the closest clinic was a half of a days walk. 

In 2019, our goal was realized. We were awarded a grant from AWeber email marketing company of $20,000. 

We subsequently assisted in an agricultural project, built a dormitory, and provided solar panels & water tanks.

A few years later, we began helping refugees in the Middle East, mainly women who were trafficked into sex slavery, and children who were abducted and sold by ISIS fighters.

Currently, we are providing support  to widows and orphans, educating students and feeding hundreds of the poorest in Nepal, India, Niger, Namibia, Zambia, Kenya, Egypt, Israel, Ukraine, Nicaragua, Brazil, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Brazil, Rwanda and Syria.

Since we began:

• 37,184 food packages & hot meals delivered or served
• 800 students received education
• 4,082 medical packages distributed
