CELEBRATING WIDOWS AS FATHERS IN THEIR FAMILIES
Idyllic Mistery ( Maziwa)
Welcome to Hope and Beyond Foundation
Restoring Hope, Healing Hearts, Empowering Lives with Love with Love
Hope and Beyond Foundation walks alongside widows, fatherless children, and vulnerable families in Kenya — bringing hope, dignity, practical support, and the love of Christ.
Who We Are
Supporting Them To Become Whole, Empowered & Restored
We walk alongside widows, fatherless children, and vulnerable families — helping them rise from grief into a holistically empowered, dignified life through practical skills, provision, and Christ’s compassion. Founded 30 October 2021.
Since 2021
How It Began
A ministry shaped by compassion before it became an organization
Hope and Beyond was formally founded on 30 October 2021, but the burden behind it started years earlier through direct acts of compassion, listening to widows, supporting vulnerable children, and seeing how deeply grief affects families when practical, spiritual, and emotional support are missing.
"Rediscovering yourself after loss means learning to live again with God at the centre, remembering that your identity is still precious in His sight."Read The Full Story
What Families Find Here
A ministry that is safe, generous, and Christ-centred
We want every person who reaches Hope and Beyond to encounter more than a program. We want them to encounter a caring community, truthful support, and the hope of God expressed in practical ways.
A Safe Community
Widows find a place to speak honestly, share testimonies, grieve without judgment, and be strengthened by others who understand.
Christ-centred Hope
Our ministry is grounded in Scripture, prayer, worship, and the conviction that God is still Father to the fatherless and defender of widows.
Generous Practical Care
From food packages and counseling to children's outings and legal guidance, we respond with care that is both compassionate and useful.
Archive Library
Seven archive collections that tell the journey
Our gallery is grouped as a living archive: early acts of compassion, the first widow meeting, Father's Day celebration, children's outings, counseling, and practical provision.
Acts of Compassion
Susan's act of compassion started way back in 2014 — a porridge project for needy children and COVID-19 mask support in 2021.
Our First Meeting
Hope and Beyond Foundation held its first meeting on 30th October 2021. 19 widows turned up — a great sign that God was in it from the word go.
Celebrating Widows as Fathers

Stories of Hope
Lives Transformed
These are real stories from widows and families whose lives have been touched through the work of Hope and Beyond Foundation.
Joining Hope and Beyond Foundation changed my life. After losing my husband I felt completely alone, but here I found sisters who understand my journey. The counseling helped me grieve without shame and the food packages have been a blessing during the hardest months.
The meetings gave me courage I didn't know I had. I used to cry alone every night. Now I have women around me who pray with me, laugh with me and remind me that God hasn't forgotten me. My children are smiling again.
When my husband passed, I didn't know how to navigate the legal matters of his estate. The foundation connected me with a lawyer who helped me free of charge. I am now standing on my own feet. Thank you Susan and the whole team.
