Armed with loving and compassionate hearts and a never ceasing determination to help underprivileged children, we, Zipporah and Rowland, founded G. Abaya Foundation (GAF), a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization aimed at supporting orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya, with a greater vision to the surrounding countries.
For Zipporah, who was born and raised in Kenya, this mission is deeply personal. She grew up witnessing the daily struggles of children who lacked food, schooling, safety, and the encouragement every child deserves. These early experiences ignited a lifelong passion to advocate for those whose voices often go unheard.
Long before GAF was formally established, our journey of caring for vulnerable children had already begun. Guided by a deep sense of calling and compassion, we created GAF to provide what every child should have: nutritious food, clean water, safe shelter, clothing, medical care, education, and above all, unconditional love.
Over the years, together with our faithful sponsors, we have cared for many children who come from different backgrounds. Every child we serve carries a story. Every story carries hope. And every hopeful child has the power to become a confident, self-reliant leader who transforms their community.
George Abaya
The inspiration behind the naming of this organization was from the founder's brother, George Abaya, whose journey on earth ended unexpectedly before fulfilling his purpose and destiny. Though his time on earth was brief, George carried a God-given compassion and calling to uplift others. His passing left a profound ache, yet his memory inspires us to walk in the calling he never had a chance to complete. He had a big heart and a big vision to help others and to make a difference in his community. His spirit continues to shine brightly even in his absence, reminding us that God can bring purpose, beauty, and blessing out of even the deepest loss.
G. Abaya Foundation is a 501(C)(3) charitable organization whose mission is to instill hope to the hopeless
“In honor and memory of the Founder’s brother, George Abaya, who had a big heart and a big vision to help others but his journey on earth ended unexpectedly.”
