When the Solai Dam burst in May 2018, tragedy struck the quiet community of Nakuru County, leaving families devastated, homes washed away, and lives forever changed. Amid the chaos and heartbreak, the Mizpah Foundation stepped in — not as an observer, but as a lifeline. Guided by faith, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to serve, the Mizpah Foundation became a source of comfort and practical help to victims in their darkest hour.
Within hours of the disaster, the Mizpah Foundation opened its Home of Love Centre in Bahati, Nakuru County, to shelter families who had lost everything. What was once a safe haven for vulnerable children quickly became a refuge for dozens of displaced victims. Through this act of love, the Foundation provided food, clothing, and emotional support — offering not just relief, but dignity. The Mizpah Foundation team prayed with survivors, comforted grieving families, and reminded them that even in tragedy, faith still stands.
Beyond emergency relief, the Mizpah Foundation took deliberate steps toward rebuilding lives. Together with the Kimani Ngunjiri Foundation, they offered children affected by the tragedy full educational scholarships — covering tuition, uniforms, and supplies from primary through university levels. This partnership reflected the Foundation’s belief that true recovery doesn’t end with aid — it begins with opportunity. Through education, these young survivors were given the tools to rise again, to dream again, and to heal through hope.
The Mizpah Foundation’s response to the Solai Dam tragedy also strengthened its mission to remain ready for humanitarian crises. The experience deepened the Foundation’s capacity for rapid response, coordination, and trauma-informed care. Today, Mizpah continues to use those lessons to serve communities in times of crisis — always blending practicality with prayer, and compassion with action.
