A man who had endured 12 years of homelessness on the streets of Nyeri has finally found shelter, hope, and a new beginning thanks to a heartwarming intervention by a local church in partnership with Raha Premium and JCM TV.
Mr. Kavatha, who had been sleeping outside for over a decade due to lack of shelter, now has a fully paid house and ongoing support under the Compassionate Gospel initiative led by the JCM Church.
The initiative is spearheaded by Pastor Muthee Kiengei, a vocal advocate for community-based transformation.
“12 years of Mr. Kavatha from Nyeri of sleeping outside are over,” said Pastor Kiengei.
“The Compassionate Gospel has located him, and he is now in his own house, fully paid, before we locate a place to put his permanent home.”
In addition to providing shelter, the church committed to building a permanent home for Mr. Kavatha and ensuring his mobility needs are addressed.
A new wheelchair is expected to be delivered next week.
“I will visit him next week with a new wheelchair to enable him in mobility,” Kiengei confirmed, underscoring the church’s long-term commitment to his wellbeing.
Mr. Kavatha also received a full year’s supply of Raha Premium Kavagara flour, securing his nutritional needs as he transitions into stable housing.
The initiative was supported by Kururia TV, which played a key role in transparency and documentation of the contributions made by the church and its partners.
This act of compassion is part of a wider Gospel Caravan currently touring Nyeri County, aimed at uplifting vulnerable members of the community.
The caravan follows a recent outreach in Embu County, where similar acts of service were carried out.
Earlier this month, on July 12, the Compassionate Gospel team also extended its reach to Ng’ang’a-ini Village in Gatanga, Murang’a County, where they supported a woman who was left disabled 20 years ago after a tragic road accident.
The team provided her with a wheelchair, food supplies, hygiene kits, and conducted a medical check-up, confirming her vitals were stable.
The Compassionate Gospel programme continues to expand its footprint across Kenya, operating under the core values of love, compassion, and accountability. Its tangible impact on vulnerable communities is fast becoming a model of faith-driven outreach in action.
