about us
Mission and vision
Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widows.” (Isaiah1:17)
Second Chance Tandem encapsulates our mission: to work together with the underprivileged, as a divine mandate to help in the restoration of widows, orphans and the needy to find a footing in society.
In response to the mandate, Second Chance Tandem is working collaboratively with widows’ women groups, orphans, and the physically disabled persons and their respective families to identify and mitigate their various personal, societal, and environmental challenges. We empower them through bespoke local programmes and work collaboratively to enable them to experience the love of God through rehabilitation, restoration, and renewal of faith as a means to a second chance in life.
We envision the world as a place where everyone has something to give to make a difference!
our ministries
Education Scholarship
Our Education Sponsorship ministry operates primarily in and around Siaya County (Kenya), and expanding to northern Tanzania and south-west Cameroon. Second Chance Tandem and the partners provide sponsorship to support the orphans’ basic and higher education from lower primary school through to higher institutions
Training and Development
Second Chance Tandem offer bespoke training and development initiatives to address skills gaps, reduce reliance on peasantry, and to empower the group members individually and/or collectively to participate more fully in the local economies.
Various forms of farming
Animal Husbandry
The Goat Rearing Programme (GRP) was initiated by a divine mandate in 2018 to help the needy widows without any livestock to own a goat. This is aimed at promoting small livestock-based venture in which the beneficiaries (widows) would start to build small-scale livestock capacities to empower their future economic self-reliance
Micro Finance
All three Women’s Groups received a cash donation to start a shared fund (pool) from which they can borrow small amounts of money for emergent needs. This is a short-term loan that charge very low interest rate of repayment to ease access to finance to resolve matters quickly. The Groups also started “table banking” by collecting money at every meeting to boost their cash flow and bank balance.
