Dignity, Opportunity, Hope

Building a prosperous rural Kenya

We are a combination of two non-profit organizations banding together to accomplish God’s work in rural Kenya. 

Known in the USA as Helping Kenya Kids, we are a 501(c)3 organization incorporated in Michigan and provided tax exempt status through the US Government.  All gifts given to Helping Kenya Kids are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Known as Special Ministries in Kenya, we are a registered Non-Governmental Organization with the Non-Profit Board of Kenya.  This provides special exemption rights within the country and during 2020 we were granted full accommodation as a disaster response agency of the Kenyan government.

Our Mission

We exist to bring Hope into the most rural communities of Kenya!

What we do

Our main goal is to bring Hope to the people of Kenya.  We provide Hope within rural communities of Kenya in multiple ways.

We provide Hope …

  • In Jesus by planting churches to minister to the spiritual needs of the community and to train up disciple makers for Him. 

  • Through education by partnering with local communities, tribes, families, and governmental leaders to bring Christian education to children who would otherwise not receive any education at all. 

  • Through quality meals by providing food for the children at all Hope Centers. For many, this is their only meal of the day. And in the midst of a severe drought we provide food for families and their cattle.

  • Of healthier lives by building health clinics to provide basic health needs for communities. 

  • Future sustainability by teaching farming skills to the people of rural Kenyan communities.

Our Vision

Our Most Unique Characteristics:

  1. We turn Hope Centers over to their local community leadership once they have become locally sustainable and the leadership team has proven themselves to be capable governors of the programs. See Hope Center Success Stories to read more about this.
  1. 100% of the funds donated to Helping Kenya Kids (HKK) goes directly to serving Kenyan people in need! Not one penny goes to anything, or anyone, in the United States! We invest 100% into the people of Kenya! Try to find another non-profit like that! We are committed to directly helping those in need!
