A meaningful day of connection, celebration, and honoring our elders through structured fellowship and shared experiences.
V.G (Viggy) • Kericho Town, Kericho
Exploring 22 families across Kenya - from Turkana to Kirinyaga, Nairobi to Kericho
Family Connect was founded by a group of friends bound by deep friendship, shared Christian values, and a common desire to honor and stay connected to their parents and families. Recognizing that adulthood and busy lives often create distance from parents, the friends established Family Connect as a deliberate commitment to strengthen family bonds, celebrate elders, and build a supportive community rooted in love, respect, and mutual care.
The group formalized its existence through a Constitution, marking the beginning of structured, purposeful initiatives starting with rotational visits to each member's parents.
To build a united and supportive community that strengthens family relationships, celebrates our elders, and promotes values of love, respect, and togetherness.
To organize meaningful activities that connect families, support members in times of need and joy, and contribute positively to the welfare of society.
