🌿 Okra, Menopause & Our Garden of Eden 🌿

Did you know that okra is a natural source of magnesium, an important mineral that supports heart health, muscle function, and strong bones? These are all important areas of wellness for women navigating menopause and healthy aging.

That is one of the reasons we are growing okra in our Garden of Eden at Upendo. We believe that good health begins with education, nutritious food, and community. By growing nutrient-rich crops, we are teaching women and families practical ways to improve their health while embracing sustainable agriculture.

Every seed we plant represents hope, wellness, and empowerment.

☕ You're Invited!

Join us for a special Upendo Tea Party on October 31 as we celebrate women's health, community, friendship, and the impact of our Garden of Eden initiative.

Come enjoy tea, fellowship, inspiring stories, and learn how together we are cultivating healthier lives and stronger communities.

📅 October 31
📍 Upendo United Foundation Nakuru
💚 Together, let's grow health, hope, and opportunity.

Please invite a friend and be part of this meaningful gathering.

Bridging the Digital Divide, One School at a Time 💻🌍

Today, we had the privilege of visiting one of the 30 schools served by Upendo United Foundation. As we walked through the campus, we were inspired by the passion and determination of the head teacher, whose vision for her students is nothing short of extraordinary.

This school serves 1,350 bright and eager learners, yet they currently have only one computer for the entire school.

Despite the challenges, the head teacher refuses to let her students be left behind in the digital age. She dreams of building a dedicated computer lab and filling it with 40 computers, creating opportunities for every child to develop the technology skills they need for the future.

Her faith is stronger than the obstacles. She sees a room filled with computers where others see an empty space. She sees possibilities where others see limitations.

While the school works toward securing funding for a permanent lab, our Tech on Wheels program can help bridge the digital divide right now by bringing technology directly to students who need it most.

You can be part of this transformation:

✅ Donate a computer for just $100
✅ Support our Tech on Wheels initiative
✅ Help equip the next generation with essential digital skills

Every computer donated brings us one step closer to ensuring that no child is left behind because of where they were born or the resources available in their community.

Together, we can turn one computer into forty. Together, we can turn dreams into opportunities.

Three years ago, we shared the story of Zippora, a determined young girl with big dreams. Today, we are excited to share how far she has come.

At just 18 years old and in Grade 10, Zippora has been working hard to build a brighter future. Through the support of our community, she successfully completed our computer training classes, is now learning sewing skills, and has started cultivating her own plot of land where she grows managu (African nightshade). She is already taking important steps toward self-reliance.

Today, Zippora needs one more opportunity to stay on her educational journey.

Sponsor Zippora's Education for One Year
For just $150, you can provide Zippora with one year of school fees and help her remain in school while she continues developing skills that will sustain her future.

Our goal is that within the next two years, income from her vegetable farming and sewing projects will help support her educational expenses, allowing her to complete her studies and move toward independence.

Your gift is more than school fees. It is an investment in a young woman who is working hard, learning practical skills, and creating opportunities for herself.

Will you help Zippora stay in school?

Donate via PayPal:
📧 [email protected]

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings her one step closer to completing her education and realizing her dreams.

Thank you for believing in young people like Zippora and helping us transform hope into opportunity.

Last week, I had the privilege of visiting Mereroni Comprehensive School, one of the 30 schools we serve through Upendo United Foundation.

As I sat with the teachers and administrators, our conversation was both heartbreaking and inspiring. They shared the reality they face every day: low enrollment, no electricity, no internet access, and limited secure classroom space to store learning resources. While these challenges are significant, the greatest concern is what they mean for the children. Every obstacle creates another barrier between a child and the opportunities they deserve.

As I looked into the faces of students eager to learn, I was reminded that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

That is why this quarter we are launching our Tech on Wheels Initiative.

Imagine a mobile technology lab bringing laptops, internet access, digital learning resources, and hands-on training directly to schools like Mereroni. Instead of waiting years for infrastructure to arrive, we can bring technology to the children today. This investment will allow us to reach more underserved schools, empower teachers, and equip students with the digital skills they need to thrive in the modern world.

Today, I'm inviting you to become part of this transformation.

A gift of $100 helps bring technology and learning opportunities to students who might otherwise be left behind.

As a token of our gratitude:

❤️ You will receive a beautiful handmade apron crafted by our talented youth.

❤️ Your name will be permanently engraved on our Wall of Love, honoring those who believe every child deserves access to education and opportunity.

When you give, you're not just making a donation. You're helping a child connect to the world, discover new possibilities, and dream bigger than their circumstances.

Will you join us?

Together, we can put technology in motion and bring hope, opportunity, and education to schools like Mereroni.

One school. One child. One future at a time. 💙

🌱 A Seed, A Journey, A Movement 🚐💻

Twenty-four years ago today, on October 6, 2002, I left Kenya for the United States carrying two young children, a heart full of faith, and dreams bigger than my circumstances.

Today, I stand back home in Kenya, surrounded by living proof that dreams can come full circle.

The cob house in this photo was built by our youth. The organic herbs, vegetables, and fruits growing around it were planted and nurtured by young people who are learning that they have the power to create, build, and transform their communities.

This is more than a garden. It is a classroom, a training ground, and a reminder that when we invest in young people, extraordinary things grow.

As I celebrate 24 years of this journey, I am excited to launch our Tech on Wheels Campaign.

Our goal is to bring digital skills, training, technology, and opportunity directly to underserved youth across rural . We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

🚐 on Wheels will help us meet youth where they are and equip them for the future.

💚 Sponsor Opportunity:
For every $100 donation, you will receive a beautiful handcrafted apron sewn by youth in our sewing and entrepreneurship program. Your gift not only helps bring technology and training to young people, but also supports the skills and livelihoods they are building through our vocational programs.

Twenty-four years ago, I left home searching for opportunity.

Today, I am helping bring opportunity home.

Will you join us?

Together, we can put technology on wheels and empower the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

👉 Donate. Share. Partner.

Together, let's put opportunity on wheels.
