Our faith compels our work

Giving back to give real hope

We teach our Kisumu, Siaya and Nyakach, Kenya communities to utilize their strengths and to give back to another needy person in the community–one family at a time. By working together with us, their lives are transformed. For example, we supply water tanks that provide clean water–crucial to people and animals who formerly had to use contaminated water sources. The tank also saves area villagers from the considerable 40-minute walk to get water from the river to their homes. Everyone in the area benefits from our water tanks.

By partnering with the community, Safari Of Hope gives hope to those who are otherwise unable to overcome barriers. Tunaleta matumaini – We bring hope.

Working together with us, locals are able to give back to another needy person in the community. Each person or family who receives a goat must agree to share the offspring. As soon as they raise seven goats, they must return two (2) to Safari Of Hope. They will then participate in the “pay it forward” project and give a pair of goats to another family. The Recipient List is long, but the aim is that anyone who wants a pair of goat can participate. Our goal is to partner with as many families as possible and teach self-sustaining growth and the opportunity to become independent. The impact is great: people are learning from one another, sharing and experiencing togetherness, love and hope.

To date, almost 100 goats have been delivered to families in the Kisumu, Siaya and Nyakach communities. And the numbers keep increasing. 

The “LJB Chicken Hotel” houses more than 500 chickens and more than 15000 eggs are laid each month. Some of the eggs are donated to several elderly people, vendors come to the farm to buy eggs, and some of the eggs are taken to the marketplace where they are sold at a price that is affordable.

Introduction Of Fish Farming

In 2022 during the annual trip back to Kisumu, Brenda and her mom had the opportunity to experience Lake Victoria and could see how this project could help Safari Of Hope feed even more people. The seed was planted and the first of 4 cages (the “Johnny Lee”) was donated. The impact was huge and in 2023 “Two B’s and a Butterfly” was added. The idea caught on quickly and in 2024 two (2) more generous donors helped us to introduce “The Maze Cage” and “Amazing Grace” to our fish farming project. Our ultimate goal is to add 2 more cages by the end of 2026.

Safari Of Hope provides vital support to Kenyan communities struggling to recover from extreme poverty, disease and natural disasters. Through our self-sustaining, faith-based services, we provide opportunities for those who would otherwise face insurmountable barriers.

Education is a key emphasis of our work. Many of the older generation Kenyans who were not able to go to school do not understand the importance of education, but through Safari Of Hope projects, more children will get to go to school and learn how to work together to change their future.

Safari Of Hope Mission

Safari Of Hope is a beacon of Hope, empowerment and education to the people of Kenya. Its mission is to transform, educate and bring sustainable practices to communities. We serve Kenyan families through Bible-based education and resources that restore dignity and break the cycle of poverty. We partner with Kenyans to help them improve their own lives.

The old saying “teach a man to fish and you can feed him for a lifetime” rings true about our purpose and mission. Safari of Hope is wise and caring, much like a loving aunt or uncle. Its purpose is to help, but also train and instill foundational truths that can be used long after Safari Of Hope has achieved its mission. 

Empowering Kenyans to transform their lives

Safari Of Hope partners Brian Okoth Obongo and Norbert Odero Olwande provide Kisumu, Siaya and Nyakach families the support to take ownership of improving their lives. They join with locals by giving them projects that will help them grow spiritually, emotionally and physically and to develop leadership skills. 

These volunteers are putting smiles on the faces of those they serve in disadvantaged communities. With a desire to give expertise, Brian and Norbert are sharing opportunities with those who would otherwise face overwhelming barriers. They serve Kenyan families through Bible-based training, skill building ­and education. Theirs is a journey of love, restoring dignity and breaking the cycle of poverty. 

Locally, Safari Of Hope’s vision is making an impact for generations to come.
