Welcome to Mission Education
Educating Children One By One!
Mission Education is a simple concept: Recognizing our good fortune--how much we've been blessed--and paying it forward to those less fortunate. In this case, children all over Kenya who are being kept out of classrooms for lack of tuition money and other expenses. My experience with Kenya all began with The Lord’s House of Hope (TLHOH) orphanage near Nairobi, Kenya, and the little girl, Faith, my wife and I sponsor. Once it became apparent TLHOH would soon reach capacity and self-sufficiency, our wheels started turning: “How are we going to reach more children in Kenya?” Talking with Fridah, the social worker at TLHOH, it was unmistakably clear the way to improve the lives and "family trees" of Kenyans was through education.
Mission Education enthusiastically embraces this challenge!
Children in Kenya have the same dreams as our children: They want to grow up to be doctors and teachers and pilots and veterinarians...but school isn't free in Kenya. That fact--the lack of money--is keeping smart, bright-eyed, ambitious children home rather than in classrooms where they can work towards their dream. The solution is simple and relatively inexpensive: We can ensure these children get a quality education by giving them a “hand up.”
For those of us who’ve been blessed abundantly, it’s easy to make a life-long difference in a child’s future. Together, there’s no limit to how many children Mission Education can help; our Mission is “Educating Children One by One.”
Our hope and prayer is YOU will feel called to be part of the Mission! Check out the “How You Can Help” link above.
Thank you and God Bless!

Meet Ben, The Inspiration Behind Mission Education
Ben is a 15 year old boy who lives in Kibera, the world’s second largest slum and home to almost 1.3 million people living within a 1.5 square mile area. He and his single mother live in a small “mud” house, approximately 12ft x 12ft, consisting of two tiny “rooms” only separated by a hanging bed sheet. Another family lives in the other half of the house; that’s also separated by a sheet. Ben's mother could no longer afford the tuition to keep him in school. Not only was Ben becoming sick, but he was noticeably depressed. His friends were going to school every day while he stayed home with his mother.
