We are a community support project not for profit making. We are reaching all women and youths of Kisumu and surrounding villages with a message of hope to achieve freedom from poverty, disease, and abuse whereby even the most vulnerable members of a community, widows, orphans and others, can achieve prosperity and success. We are reaching out to everyone to mobilize communities to care for their own orphans and widows be self initiating programs that apply their own resources to raise their standard of living.
