JNN Foundation is supported by vital and compassionate members who volunteer their time and money for a cause they believe in. Our talented JNN Family is brimming with original ideas, creativity, energy and enthusiasm.

Joseph Nyabiosi NyakundiThey share the passion of the late Mr. Nyabiosi for giving a helping hand to those less fortunate. The JNN Family is committed to providing their services to help make the world a better place. Mr. Nyabiosi willingly provided free education to underprivileged and orphaned children in his schools. His vision was to provide financial support to young men and women to complete their education, potentially take up an occupation or start a business, so as to improve their quality of life. Mr. Nyabiosi was a trendsetter of his time, he implemented pioneering ideas, initiated new approaches to benefit the community, and he continued to demonstrate sacrificial love. He became a prominent example of a social entrepreneur, bringing the light of education to his village in the 60’s when the darkness of illiteracy was rampant. With the help of his life partner, Mrs. Hellen Nyabiosi, they  teamed up to build and manage  primary and secondary private schools that have since then educated countless students and made dreams come true.

Practicing What We Preach

Hellen NyabiosiMr. & Mrs Nyabiosi together practiced what they preached, their principles were firmly based on the word of God:

  • “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” – James 1:27
  • “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.”  – Psalm 68:5
  • “A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.”  – Proverbs 22:9
  • “Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.” – Isaiah 1:17
  • “‘He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the LORD.”  – Jeremiah 22:16
  • “If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”  – John 3:17-18
  • “Cornelius stared at him in fear. What is it, Lord?’ he asked. The angel answered, your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.’”  – Acts 10:4
  • “All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.”  – Galatians 2:10.
