Beulah Mission Center Foundation was founded in 2004 in Nairobi, Kenya, as a response to challenges and crises women were facing. Prior to inception, our founder, Faith Wambugu, was raising her two children in Nairobi in the absence of her husband who was furthering his studies in the United States. One quiet afternoon, Faith received a visit from a few women living in the most vulnerable and poverty-stricken areas near her neighborhood. The women were seeking opportunities to gain skills that would advance their livelihoods by earning an income, becoming self-sustaining, and identifying ways to provide for their children. As the women shared their hardships, Faith’s attention was drawn to the plight of mothers, especially those with children with various disabilities, facing similar situations and challenges and in need of a listening ear. In response, Fatih started teaching women in surrounding communities how to sew. During these sewing classes, women were taught entrepreneurial and business strategies and technical computer skills like typing. These sessions served as the foundation of the Beulah Mission Center Foundation and gave hope for a better tomorrow for women. 

 

When Faith and her children relocated to the United States to join her husband in 2007, she continued encountering women facing similar difficulties and decided to expand the project in her new home, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Today, BMCF continues to provide avenues of support for women.

 

At BMCF, we firmly believe that ‘Healed Women, Heal Others,’ and by creating opportunities for women to belong and to embrace their gifts and abilities, we can transform not only the lives of women but everyone in the community.
