Sporting is one way of engaging and uniting youths by bringing them together, and also showcase their talents. Through this ,we encourage youths to avoid involving themselves in criminal activities and drug abuse,and instead focus on building a better future for our country.
We also create an environment and opportunity for guiding and counseling to our youths who might need such services..
To my people of Nyalenda B ,let's embrace sport as a tool for prosperity .

A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.

We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and general empowerment, for the Solutions to one problem are the solutions for all.

Proverbs 22:6
" Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."
James Were Foundation through JAI JALARAM FEEDING PROGRAM today fed over 900 children from across the Informal settlement of NYALENDA B ward..,
The children are treasures from God ,and they should be part of our main interest and concern, as Jesus said in MATHEW 14:16 "They do not need to go away.,you give them something to eat"
The foundation is a testimony to the society and many who have benefitted from it ..
May God bless those who go their way out to see these possible 🙏

It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the untimely passing of KDF Chief General Francis Ogolla, whose life was tragically cut short in a helicopter crash at Kaben Cheptulel on the border of West Pokot - Elgeyo Marakwet on April 18th, 2024.

General Ogolla's unwavering dedication to our nation, his exceptional leadership as the Chief of Defence Forces, and his unwavering commitment to honor and integrity have left an indelible mark on our country. As we grieve his loss, our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones, colleagues, and all those who knew him.

May we never forget the legacy of service and sacrifice that General Ogolla leaves behind, and may his memory continue to inspire us to strive for excellence and selflessness in all that we do.

It is with deep sorrow that I learned of the untimely passing of Mr. Amin Gilani, a distinguished entrepreneur and a pivotal figure in Kisumu, renowned as the founder of Mayfair Holdings and a key partner to James Were Foundation.

Mr. Gilani's demise on March 2 in the United Kingdoma has cast a profound sense of loss over our community, as we mourn the absence of a cherished guidance to bright and disadvantaged students, In particular, we extend our gratitude to the Gilani family for their steadfast commitment to education through their support of the James Were Foundation. Their unwavering assistance has played a crucial role in advancing the foundation's mission to aid education for underprivileged studenst in Nyalenda, Kisumu.

To Mrs. Munira Gilani and the entire family, I take this opportunity to convey our deepest condolences and sympathies for the loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on behalf of the community of Nyalenda.

May Mr. Amin Gilani rest in eternal peace.
