HOW IT BEGAN
About
Hearts Abide is a nonprofit that was started on God's command. Our hearts felt the call and command from God to continue the teaching of His word in Kawaha West, Nairobi through a barbershop, sports, and a daycare that provides childcare for single mothers. By faith we stepped out and acted in accordance with what we felt God had laid on our hearts.
HEARTS ABIDE BARBERSHOP
THE HEARTS ABIDE BARBERSHOP OPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2022. IT WAS ESTABLISHED TO GENERATE INCOME FOR THE ORPHANAGE AND CREATE JOBS. INITIALLY, THE MINISTRY FUNDED THE OPENING EXPENSES. NOW, WITH OUR ONGOING SUPPORT, THE SHOP IS SELF-SUSTAINING AND ABLE TO SAVE PROFITS EACH MONTH. IN THE FUTURE, WE AIM FOR ORPHANS TO WORK IN THE BARBERSHOP AFTER LEAVING THE ORPHANAGE. BARBERING WILL BE A SKILL THAT IS TAUGHT AS A LIFE SKILL.
HEARTS ABIDE SOCCER MINISTRY
THE HEARTS ABIDE SOCCER MINISTRY STARTED IN 2023 AS A WAY TO DISCIPLE TO A LARGER AUDIENCE OF CHILDREN. THE MINISTRY STARTED WITH APPROXIMATELY 60 CHILDREN AND IS NOW OVER 150 CHILDREN THAT SHOW UP WEEKLY FOR WEEKLY DEVOTION AND SOCCER. THESE CHILDREN COME FROM THE ALL DIRECTIONS. COACHES ARE PROVIDED WITH LITERATURE TO LEAD THE CHILDREN. SNACKS AND REFRESHMENTS ARE PROVIDED EACH WEEK FOR ALL CHILDREN. THE SOCCER MINISTRY HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER 30
HEARTS ABIDE HOUSING MINISTRY
HEARTS ABIDE IS ROOTED IN THE BELIEF THAT EVERYONE DESERVES A SAFE AND DRY PLACE TO CALL HOME. IN THE SLUMS, WIDOWS AND THE ELDERLY OFTEN STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOUSING CONDITIONS LEADING TO UNSAFE LIVING CONDITIONS. THESE PROBLEMS, IF LEFT UNADDRESSED, CAN LEAD TO MORE SEVERE HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS. BY ADDRESSING THE HOUSING NEEDS OF THE WIDOWS AND ELDERLY, WE BECOME THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS.
