Teams
Servant Forge has established partnerships with church-based and secular groups from the United States who join our team in Kenya and take on support roles for the duration of their trip. Onboarded into one of our multi-faceted projects, a minimum of seven days are spent working alongside us and our partners at Hope Farm, the New Scent Centre and Wings of Hope as well as in the Kakuma Refugee Camp.
In addition to their time with the people of Kenya, opportunities to experience and appreciate the beauty of Kenya are also included! Teams are encouraged to engage in grassroots fundraising to support their travel and participation in projects and receive an opportunity to create lasting relationships and contacts with the project beneficiaries.

- Crossroads Church of the Nazarene
