Who we are and our mission!
Our Vision
We envision thriving communities across Africa where families have access to clean water, education, healthy environments, and sustainable opportunities, equipped to overcome challenges while preserving the land for future generations.
Our Story
We began with a single meal and a big vision. In a small community gathering at Trinity Lutheran Church in Cottage Grove, a fundraiser lunch was held with one goal: to drill a water well in Kenya.
That first successful well campaign changed everything. It wasn’t long before the water began to nourish more than just people, it nourished a movement. We quickly expanded into tree planting and animal husbandry, which grew into a large-scale agroforestry initiative reaching across the southwest side of Migori County.
As the needs of our community grew, so did our reach. We launched a publishing arm to share our story, opened a medical clinic, and are now nearing the completion of Trinity Lodge. Once the Lodge is ready for occupation, it will serve as a residence for volunteers, allowing us to finally welcome partners from around the world for life-changing mission trips.
What started as a fundraiser lunch has become a permanent home for hope.
