Woman's Guild Ministry

About

Woman's Guild is a fellowship of ladies and girls of the PCEA church. In Kenya, the group was started in 1922 with the goal of rescuing young girs from the oppresive traditions and bringing them to christianity.
The group is founded on God's Word from Romans 12:11-13 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
At Evergreen, the group was created by a few members who came from St. Andrews. The first group was commissioned in 2003. The number has so far grown to over 200 members and followers
The group is founded on the pillars of spiritual, physical and social growth

Juja Farm Project
This is a girls' rescue centre being constructed on a 3.5 acre piece of land in Juja Farm, Juja, Kiambu County.
The land was purchased in May, 2013 through a a charitable walk organized by Woman's Guild members.
The main objective of the centre is to rehabilitate girls from neighbouring slums who get pregnant while still at school and are orphans or are chased from their homes.
The programme will empower them and restore their self esteem and give them a sense of belonging
The construction of the rescue centre is now at an advanced stage with all plans, designs and foundation now in place. The first phase of the project will be completed in 5 years. img Woman's Guild Members after a meeting
