Family Empowerment Community-Based Organization
Family Empowerment Community-Based Organization (F.E.C.B.O) is registered with the office of the District Gender & Social Development Officer (DGSDO) as a self-help Group/Project. It was established in 2009 to support less fortunate people, particularly those living with HIV/ AIDS. By then, the Director Simon Thiongo was serving with Moffat Bible College as an HIV/AIDS advocate.

The Garden Church
Most Churches’ vision is to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:16-20) and glorify God in everything (1 Corinthians 10:31). Yet the Church’s involvement in programs that would help the physical needs is minimal. The Great Commission is not propositional evangelism; instead, it was supposed to mean following everything Jesus taught. Jesus fed his followers spiritually and physically. Therefore, the Great Commission passage should help us follow Jesus’s ministry model. The Good News to a needy person might be food and clothing.
