After Martha Wamae passed away in mid-2020, several children whom she supported in their education reached out to her family, hoping that the support they had received from Martha would continue. As a result, Martha’s children, Andrew and Ann, decided to carry on their mother’s legacy of transforming lives by providing financial aid to underprivileged but bright and well-behaved children. Although the foundation was not officially registered until 2022, Martha’s family took it upon themselves to educate two students while they waited for the registration and launch. The foundation was eventually launched and dedicated to the Lord on June 18th, 2022.
