Behold the coming of the Kingdom of God for these young people and their communities. Currently FUMCFW partners with these 171 orphaned and vulnerable children and youth (OVCY) in two 2025-2027 Empowerment groups. Previously we partnered with 178 OVCY in two 2023-2025 Empowerment groups.
At FUMCFW we are fulfilling our Mission, “Love God. Serve People. Transform Lives” in a big way by partnering with these Zoe Empowerment groups! These extremely vulnerable youth and children have transformed from living lives of desperation to self-sufficiency and better while wrapped in layers of community and knowing they are not beyond the love of God in Christ.
Zoe Empowers is a Methodist-based, comprehensive, locally-led, three-year graduation program. Zoe Empowers transforms lives holistically in 11 African countries plus India. 256,000 children and youth have graduated or are currently in the program. 99% of these households become self-sustaining and never need charity again, even transforming their communities.
Tumaini “Hope” Nkondi Empowerment Group, Kenya 2023 – 2025

25 Households and a Total of 89 Youth and Children
Precious Gakauuru Empowerment Group, Kenya 2023 – 2025

25 Households and a Total of 89 Youth and Children
During 2023 – 2025, these 178 OVCY in Precious and Tumaini Empowerment Groups in Kenya progressed from extreme poverty to thriving, aided by FUMCFW support.
The Precious and Tumaini households ALL now earn sufficient income for necessities, live in adequate/safe homes, have access to medical care, can pay school expenses, can enforce their rights, feel valuable in their community, and feel God loves them. Also, they ALL have savings, have at least one business, hire other people, help others in their community, and share their faith with others. Before Zoe, few had any of these things. Their lives were totally transformed from utter destitution to holistic well-being because of God’s grace, FUMCFW compassion, Zoe instruction, and their own entrepreneurial effort.
In addition, our FUMCFW partnerships with these 4 groups activated matches of 6 more groups including 587 OVCY that were funded by anonymous donors.
So, because FUMCFW answered God’s call, 836 orphaned and vulnerable children and youth have or will become self-sustaining … for good.
