About Us

INTRODUCTION

The rationale behind Sauti Ya Kanisa Kenya (SKK) extends beyond fostering linkages and empowering rural pastors with spiritual tools to addressing their holistic well-being and restoring their dignity. Recognizing the multifaceted challenges faced by these pastors and their families, SKK aims to provide practical support that enables them to thrive both spiritually and socially.

One of the key interventions includes providing clothing and accessories to reclaim their dignity, ensuring that these pastors, who are often seen as community leaders, present themselves confidently and are treated with respect. Furthermore, SKK recognizes the unique needs of their families, especially their wives and daughters, by supplying sanitary towels to improve their hygiene and well-being, acknowledging that these essential items are often unaffordable in impoverished rural settings.

SKK’s survey has uncovered a concerning trend: many rural pastors are unable to send their children to school due to poverty. This creates an unfortunate ripple effect, as the children of pastors, who should ideally be role models for the faith, often struggle with spiritual disillusionment and feelings of neglect. The resulting disparity between pastors and their children compromises the spiritual and emotional health of the entire family, making it harder for pastors to focus on their ministry.

Additionally, financial struggles and lack of support have driven many clergy to the brink of despair. SKK’s findings reveal that, on average, two pastors abandon their ministries every month, either selling or closing their churches due to desperation. This exodus not only affects their spiritual journey but also leaves a void in the communities they serve, weakening the Church’s presence in rural areas. Many of these pastors succumb to depression, further highlighting the urgent need for intervention.
