Serving and Learning from the orphaned, widowed, poor and oppressed

Despite modern culture's call for us to be independent, self-made and isolated, community is a vital part of the vision of Global Connections. We want to be involved in community wherever we live - to encourage, give and build into one another.

One of a favorite visits of Global Connections’ teams in Kenya is Cheshire Home, a residential facility serving girls and young women with disabilities. Managed by the Assumption Sisters of Nairobi, Cheshire provides a safe, loving environment along with vocational training and opportunities that help residents develop confidence, independence, and hope for the future.

If you would like to support the ongoing needs of Cheshire Home, including bedding, blankets, toiletries, and other essential supplies please give at:

One of the things we love most about Kenya is the incredible sense of community.

Recently, we received an update about a man who is part of the Homebound Program, which provides monthly food support to homebound individuals in the community. He is recovering from serious medical challenges, and now his village is coming together to hold a fundraiser to help provide him with prosthetic legs.

What a beautiful picture of people caring for one another — neighbors supporting neighbors, communities carrying one another’s burdens, and hope being built together.

Please join us in praying that the fundraiser will be successful and that the needed funds will be raised so he can receive his prosthetic legs.

We are continually inspired by the love, resilience, and compassion we witness through our partners and the communities they serve. ❤️

Every board cut, every nail hammered, every wall raised tells a story of hope. 🏠

Right now, planning is already beginning on another home for a family in Kenya — a safe place to sleep, stay dry during the rains, and rebuild dignity and stability. For many families, a home changes everything.

This year, our goal is to build 5 homes for families in need, and we would love for you to be part of making that possible. Each home represents safety, hope, and a fresh start for a family who has endured so much.

Would you join us in building hope one house at a time?

Please take a moment to look at these photos.

What you’re seeing is not just furniture—it’s lives being rebuilt in real time.

The Empower to Transform Centre's youth in the woodwork program are now designing, crafting, and producing beautiful, high-quality pieces with excellence and pride. Many of them came in without direction… and today, they are gaining real skills, discipline, and a renewed sense of purpose.

And this is just the beginning.

They are preparing to take the next step: launching a furniture business outlet. This will create a pathway for these young men and women to begin earning—while others continue to be trained. We are intentionally walking with them from being students… to becoming income earners and contributors in their communities.

This is what your support makes possible.
This is dignity. This is transformation.
This is the future we are building—together.

These smiles say it all 💚

Term one is complete, and these incredible students are so grateful to be back in school. What may feel ordinary to us—classrooms, uniforms, learning each day—is a gift that is reopening doors for them to hope, to dream, and to believe in a brighter future. Education is more than lessons and books. It’s dignity. It’s opportunity. It’s the chance for these children to discover who they were created to be.

Because of your support, they’re not just back in school… they’re stepping into possibility again.

Thank you for helping make this happen.

This family once lived in a fragile mud house, exposed to the harsh conditions and uncertainty. Today, by the grace of God, they are standing in front of a new, safe, and dignified home.

This is more than a house. It is a reminder that God sees, God hears, and God provides.

No prayer is too small, and no act of love is wasted.

Join us in blessing a family with a safe home today.

Through the Empower to Transform Career Center, young women are learning hairdressing. They are not just braiding hair — they are building independence. They are building confidence. They are building a future.

A skill gives more than income.
It gives hope.
It gives identity.
It gives strength to stand.

Empowerment is equipping hands.

Through the Empower to Transform Outreach Center, young men are working with their hands — shaping wood and building something solid. It may look simple, but that skill can feed a family. It can pay school fees. It can restore dignity.

A skill gives more than income.
It gives hope.
It gives identity.
It gives strength to stand.

Empowerment is equipping hands.

On International Women’s Day, Global Connections celebrates the incredible women we have the honor of serving alongside in Kenya.

We have witnessed their strength, resilience, leadership, and unwavering faith. These women care for their families with courage, support their communities with grace, and inspire us with their joy and perseverance.

Today we honor the women in Kenya — and women around the world — who are making a lasting impact every single day.

Happy International Women’s Day 💛

We’re celebrating a beautiful new beginning with our partners at Empower to Transform 💛

Last week they launched their Breakfast Meetings for women in their feeding program — and it became so much more than a meal. It was a safe space filled with honesty, courage, tears, and strength. Women facing domestic struggles, single parenthood, and hardship were able to share openly and be reminded of their value.

These gatherings are about restoring dignity, rebuilding confidence, and helping women rise — not just survive. We’re so grateful to be part of this life-changing work.
