A NIGHT OF HOPE

SATURDAY, APRIL 25

THE GRAND BALLROOM DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY

Cocktail Attire

Cocktails at 5:30 p.m.                   Dinner & Program at 6:45 p.m.

Our mission is to help Kenyan women departing prison to transition back into society by empowering them with education, life skills training, and biblical discipleship, so that they can be reunited with their families and attain sustained independence.

We empower them through education, practical life-skills training, and biblical discipleship — equipping them to reunite with their children, rebuild their families, and achieve sustained independence.

We believe restoration is possible.
We believe families can be made whole.
And we believe hope changes everything.

What We’ve Accomplished

What began as a calling has grown into a life-transforming ministry restoring families and breaking generational cycles of poverty and incarceration.

In 2025 alone, 232 lives were transformed — 62 courageous women and 170 precious children — given renewed hope, stability, and opportunity for a brighter future.

Our Approach

  • Care for Children – Safe housing, education, and support while mothers are in prison.
  •  Vocational & Business Training – Practical skills and small business development for independence.
  • Family Reunification – Gradual, supported return of children to their mothers.
  • Transitional Support – Mentorship, discipleship, and life-skills training after release.
  • Sustainable Futures – Ongoing guidance as families establish housing, income, and stability.

Here’s what that impact looks like:

Empowering Women

Women receive hands-on training in practical trades and business development, enabling them to launch small enterprises and become financially self-sufficient.

Today, graduates of our program are:

  • Providing food for their families

  • Paying school fees

  • Starting sustainable businesses

  • Leading their homes with confidence and dignity

Restoration begins with empowerment.

Caring for Children

While mothers complete training, children are cared for in a safe, nurturing environment as they await reunification.

We ensure they receive:

  • Stability and loving supervision

  • Educational support

  • Emotional care

As mothers graduate, families are reunited — prepared to reenter society with renewed hope, practical tools, and strengthened bonds.

Expanding Partnerships

Our partnerships within Kenyan prisons continue to grow, allowing us to reach more women and children each year.

Together, we are changing the trajectory of entire families — not just for today, but for generations to come.

Why A Night of Hope Matters

A Night of Hope is our annual fundraising gala, and 90% of our funding comes from private donors like you.

Your generosity provides the critical resources that make this life-changing work possible — housing, training materials, counseling, childcare, and business startup support.

We invite you to consider how your partnership can help transform lives and bring hope where there was once none.

Donate to Our Silent Auction

Events like this are only possible because of generous supporters who believe in restoration.

Would you consider donating an item or experience to our silent auction?

Auction donors will be:

  • Recognized throughout the event

  • Highlighted as valued partners in transformation

  • Directly contributing to restoring families in Kenya

Your gift — whether a product, service, vacation stay, artwork, or experience — helps fuel second chances.

Together, we can turn incarceration into restoration.
Together, we can turn brokenness into hope.
Together, we are Building Families For Tomorrow.

Together, we are breaking the cycle of poverty—one woman, one child, one family at a time.
