Restoring the Whole Family

Unlike programs that address only one need, Building Families For Tomorrow restores the whole family. By caring for children while their mothers are incarcerated, equipping women with counseling, discipleship, vocational training, and business skills, and providing long-term support as families reunite, we address the root causes of poverty and incarceration—not just the symptoms. The result is lasting transformation for women, their children, and future generations.

Our Restoration Model

The Challenge
Many women in Kenyan prisons wait months—or even years—for trial. Even after release, they face stigma, unemployment, and fractured family relationships that make rebuilding their lives incredibly difficult.

Pathway to Restoration
Working alongside the Kenya Prison Service, BFFT identifies women who are committed to changing their lives and welcomes them into a structured restoration model.

Support for Children
Children of imprisoned mothers receive safe housing, education, healthcare, and emotional support while their mothers complete their sentences.

Vocational & Business Training
Women receive counseling, biblical discipleship, life-skills training, vocational education, and business development to prepare for independent living.

Family Reunification
Mothers and children are gradually reunited in a supportive environment where relationships can heal and families can grow together.

Transitional Support
For six months after completion, women receive mentoring and decreasing levels of support as they establish homes, grow businesses, and become self-sufficient.

Breaking Generational Cycles
By restoring mothers, strengthening families, and equipping women for independence, BFFT helps break cycles of poverty and incarceration—creating hope for future generations.

The result is more than restored individuals—it is stronger families, healthier communities, and transformed generations.
