Word from the Founder
At the heart of Jasinta's Heart of Hope is a call to serve—not out of duty, but out of love. This ministry, which I call a form of diakonia (Christian service), is rooted in the very teachings of Christ when He said:
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
– Matthew 25:35–36
In these words, I hear a personal calling—not just to serve people, but to serve Christ in people. Through every shared meal, every donated garment, every word of encouragement, we are touching the heart of Jesus Himself.
Jasinta's Heart of Hope is my response to that call. It is not just a project—it is a movement of compassion, driven by faith, and anchored in the belief that every human being deserves to be seen, loved, and supported.
As founder, I am humbled to witness the light this mission brings to the lives of orphans, widows, the sick, and the forgotten. This is not charity—it is obedience to love.
May we never stop reaching out. May we never stop bringing hope.
With faith and compassion,
Jasinta Kweka
