Birthday Blessings:

Imagine it’s 1984. In the U.S., a birthday meant abundance: piles of gifts, a sugary cake, and specific, plastic toys. The focus was on wants.

That same day in Kenya, "abundance" was a foreign concept. A birthday might mean a simpler blessing, defined not by what was given, but by the daily focus on needs: enough food, clean water, and hope for school fees. In 1984, the shadow of a gathering health crisis was also beginning to loom over families.

Two worlds, same year, vast disparity. This June, Unafaa is traveling to bridge that gap for families in Kenya who still wake up praying for sufficiency, not plenty.

We are carrying Birthday Blessings: new uniforms, bookbags, nutritious food, durable shoes, and Bibles. We are turning basic necessities into a celebration of hope.

You don’t need to get on the plane to serve. You are the catalyst. Your donations, follows, and prayers directly empower our small team to deliver these life-changing essentials. Join Unafaa today. Help us prove that true abundance is found not in what you receive, but in the power you have to give.

Support Unafaa: Donate, Follow, Pray.

Unafaa is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

All gifts are tax-deductible.

unafaa is a Swahili word meaning “you matter.”

you matter

Children need to hear, “You Matter. You have a purpose.” Words can be life-giving. They can affirm, encourage, and build up. Words can speak into exposed wounds, broken expectations, and crippling fear. We are called to love and protect the most vulnerable among us: our children. Whether stateside or thousands of miles away, you have been called to love. It can seem so overwhelming, defeating, and scary. But it starts with one. Love one. Encourage one. Sponsor one. Care for one. Pour into one. Disciple one. Pray for one. Instead of thinking you won’t make an impact or being fearful about what can be done, pray for opportunities to love His children. We are all capable of being used for His purpose and to do His work.
