Who we are

Every person deserves the opportunity to thrive.

The Willis Ondiek Foundation is a community development initiative founded by Rev. Father Willis Ondiek, a finance professional and philanthropist committed to improving the lives of vulnerable people and communities.

Established in 2015, the Foundation advances social, economic and civic development with a focus on education, empowerment, social support and faith-based community transformation.

“Charity should not end with giving. It should create opportunity.”

How we serve

From support to
self-reliance.

01

Education

Keeping opportunity within reach.

Through personal fundraising and community support, Rev. Father Willis Ondiek has helped sponsor children from less fortunate backgrounds so they can remain in school and pursue a better future.

Faith in action

Service to
humanity.

Rev. Father Willis Ondiek believes that faith must be expressed through service to humanity.

His vision is to establish a church and community platform that provides spiritual nourishment alongside psychosocial support, compassion and dignity for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable members of society.

The church and community platform is presented as a vision for the future, not as a completed project.

Community partnership

Rooted in practical support.

At Gladycare Children’s Home, support for agribusiness reflects the Foundation’s wider belief: assistance should strengthen the ability of people and communities to participate, produce and shape their own future.

This visit reflects a practical approach: listen, understand the setting and support pathways toward participation and self-reliance.

Hope in everyday life

Helping young lives see possibility

Through meals, education support, hygiene materials and caring community relationships, the Foundation helps vulnerable children feel seen, protected and encouraged to keep learning and growing.

The wider effect is felt across families and communities: stronger belonging, renewed confidence, healthier participation and practical pathways towards self-reliance.
