Our Story

In 2009 Megan spent her summer in Kenya, Africa. For the next 6 weeks she spent time in orphanages, hospitals, fed the hungry, and shared the love of Jesus. Once home Megan was impressed with a beautiful burden from God to not only care for the poor but empower a generation to do it.

Realizing that faith without deeds is dead, she knew that more could be done by her generation to impact the lives of others. Through seeking the Lord on how to make this happen, and the help of her friends, Waweza Movement began to take form.

Within two months (October 2009) the movement was launched, and continues to grow.

Our primary goal is to live out James 1:27,

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this, to look after widows
and orphans in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

We have been entrusted to a unique degree with joining our King in caring for, sacrificing for, and fighting for the hearts and lives of orphans and widows. We get to be eyewitnesses of God's majesty and love as we see the impossible made possible; forgotten destinies realized; the abandoned brought into homes; and those that are the least, according to this world, become the greatest.

We desire to take the least of the world, the children and women no one knows, loves, or cares about and allow Jesus’ grace to transform their once hollow shell of a life and turn it into a radical servanthood of the King.

We don’t just look at them and see orphans; we see opportunities to raise up children in order to advance the gospel in every corner of the earth.
