Umoja Partnership

In Chulaimbo, Kenya, at least 20% of the school-aged children have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS and other diseases.

We are a partnership of many faiths and cultures from two continents, united in our service to change lives by keeping orphaned and vulnerable children in western Kenya in school. The vision of the Umoja Project is to develop a compassionate and comprehensive network of care which responds to the needs of these children by:

- Supporting children and their families through broad-based services;
-

Building the long-term capacity of families, communities, and local faith-based organizations to implement, coordinate, and sustain services for children; and
- Strengthening linkages among faith-based and community-based service providers to ensure local support is coordinated and effective. Our partnership model enables our two coalitions to build on respective strengths and resources while working together to build a strong support system for the children. Members of each coalition provide education and advocacy in their respective congregations, denominations, governmental structures and larger communities, as well as mobilize the resources necessary to support the Umoja Project.

Please keep Umoja Executive Director, Denise Soltis, and the team from Northminster Presbyterian Church in your prayers as they travel to Kenya this week! 🙏

Pray for safe travels, good health, and meaningful connections as they visit the Umoja Project in Kenya. May this trip strengthen relationships, encourage those they meet, and further the mission of transforming communities one child at a time through education.

Thank you for covering this team in prayer as they serve and learn alongside our brothers and sisters in Kenya. 🧡

These three boys at Ulalo Comprehensive School each receive a daily school lunch through Umoja’s school lunch feeding program. 🧡

For just $50, you can provide school lunch for one student for an entire year. A donation of $150 feeds all three boys for the full school year — helping them stay nourished, focused, and ready to learn.

Small acts of generosity create lasting impact.

Earlier this month, Umoja conducted a two-day manual review training for the Get-Up and Bet-Up programs, focused on empowering adolescents aged 12–17, with a focus on orphaned and vulnerable children.

The sessions reviewed key topics including health, relationships, talent development, and life skills, while emphasizing mentorship, safe spaces, and informed decision-making to help young people lead healthy and responsible lives.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible volunteer cooks who prepare daily school lunches for all 5,453 Umoja students across our 21 partner schools in the greater Chulaimbo, Kenya region. 🧡

Umoja is empowering and transforming the lives of children! 🧡

This past week, our primary and junior high school students received new blankets through our Basic Needs Program. For many of these children, these blankets are not only for them, but also for their families during the cooler months.

By helping provide warmth and comfort, we are also helping students get the rest they need to focus, learn, and thrive in school. Education begins with meeting basic needs, and together we are making a lasting difference in these children's lives.

Asante sana to all of our generous donors and supporters who make this possible. Your kindness is bringing hope, warmth, and opportunity to so many families.
