Moja
Moja, means "one by one" in Swahili,
and is the name for the micro
programs of 2:14 Ministries in Kenya.
Our efforts are primarily with individuals from Kibera, the largest
slum in Nairobi. These micro programs and projects focus on just one
family or one individual at a time, "moja moja."
Each new project begins by evaluating a specific
need as it is identified. Because we are small, our projects are personal,
and our work is individually designed around the
individual or family we are working with. Also, because we are small, we are
working with only a handful of individuals and
families, often repeatedly as our relationship grows.
But being small means we are able to give each individual greater attention and
consideration. Because we develop a personal relationship with each person we work
with, we can offer individual counsel, encouragement, and prayer, much like a supportive
family member, who focuses on one member of the family at a time, moja moja.
