12th Annual GOYA Give Hope Banquet (20th Anniversary)

Celebrating 20 Years of Ministry—and Making Room for Who Comes Next

For 20 years, GOYA Ministries has watched God work through a simple partnership: Kenyan leaders faithfully serving children and families, and people like you choosing to come alongside them.

As we celebrate our 20th year of ministry and 12th Annual Banquet, we aren't simply looking back at what God has done.

We're making room for more.

This year, our goal is to raise $137,757 for two projects that will allow us to welcome more children into our programs—and give them greater opportunities once they're there.

MORE ROOM TO LEARN

In the heart of South B slum, a rare opportunity to expand our largest primary school is already becoming a reality. New classrooms, a multipurpose hall, expanded dining and administrative areas, and additional facilities will allow our Kenyan team to serve even more children.

More space means more children receiving an education, nutritious meals, discipleship, safety, and the consistent care of adults who believe in their future.

MORE ROOM TO DREAM

A second school bus will help take those opportunities beyond our school gates.

Our students are increasingly participating in sports, choir, dance, academic competitions, and events throughout Kenya. For children growing up in vulnerable circumstances, these experiences can expand their understanding of what is possible.

Sometimes helping a child dream bigger begins by simply allowing them to see more.

HELP US MAKE ROOM FOR MORE

For 20 years, our Kenyan partners have done the daily work of teaching, mentoring, feeding, coaching, discipling, and caring for children. We have the privilege of coming alongside them.

This anniversary, help us create more room to learn, more opportunities to discover God-given talents, and more experiences that encourage children to imagine a future beyond their circumstances.

Our goal: $137,757.

After 20 years, what better way to celebrate all God has done than by making room for what He will do next.

Help our growing school purchase a School Bus!

Our school is growing! Our student body has more than doubled in the last couple of years and we are busting at the seams! This is such a great problem to have as it means that we are reaching more and more children with the gospel as well as providing nutritious meals, spiritual development, solid education and many extra curricular activities! Our school ranking is increasing as well which means that our students are being invited to sports tournaments and choir/dance competitions. An extra bus will offer us the ability to transport students to various parts around the county in order to compete. The bus can also be used to take staff and team members to and from our various rural school locations.

Rising From the Ashes: Expanding Hope in South B

$0.00 raised
%
In November 2025, a devastating fire swept through the South B slum in Nairobi, destroying hundreds of homes and businesses and forever changing the lives of countless families. The fire reached the grounds surrounding REM South B School and caused significant damage to our facilities. By God's grace, however, the main school structure remained standing. As our community worked together to recover and rebuild, an unexpected opportunity emerged. Land adjacent to the school became available, creating a rare chance to expand our campus and serve even more children in one of Nairobi's most vulnerable communities. What began as a tragedy has opened the door to hope. For years, REM South B has provided education, stability, discipleship, and opportunity to children living in difficult circumstances. With additional classrooms and expanded facilities, we can welcome more students, reduce overcrowding, and continue investing in the next generation of leaders. The Expansion The new addition will transform REM South B from a school that is stretched beyond capacity into a campus equipped to meet the growing needs of the community. The expansion includes: Three new classrooms to serve additional students. A large multi-purpose hall and stage for school assemblies, church services, community gatherings, and student programs. Expanded office and administrative space. Additional restroom facilities and improved circulation throughout the building. A larger dining area to serve students more efficiently. Additional storage and support spaces to better serve the school community. This expansion represents more than bricks and concrete. It means: More children receiving a quality education. More students hearing the Gospel. More families experiencing hope and opportunity. A stronger and more resilient South B community. Building in Faith Construction is already underway. One of the beautiful realities of ministry partnerships in Kenya is the trust that has been built over many years of serving faithfully together. Local builders have agreed to begin work before all of the funds have been raised, trusting our reputation and commitment to fulfill our obligations as support comes in. Their faith in this mission has allowed progress to begin immediately rather than waiting months or years for funding to be secured. Now we have the opportunity to stand alongside them and finish what has already begun! Our Goal The total cost to complete the South B expansion is $57,757 USD. Every dollar given moves this project closer to completion and creates space for future generations of students to learn, grow, and thrive. The fire may have changed the landscape of the neighborhood, but it did not destroy the vision. Together, we can help South B rise stronger than before. Campaign Goal: $57,757 Help us turn tragedy into opportunity and build a future filled with hope for the children of South B.
