The Saidia Tafadhali Foundation [STF] means "Help Please" in Swahili. STF was started in 2011 by Rod and Brenda Redding to help with projects in Northern Kenya just east and north of Lake Baringo. The main inhabitants are the Pokot Tribe. Many of the Pokot people are basically nomadic pastoralists who move from place to place in search of pasture and water for their livestock. The goal of the foundation is to raise funds to support various projects in remote and less developed areas. STF supports education such schools and scholarships for students and other needs such as wells for gardens and livestock.
Rod and Brenda began their journey and interest in Kenya while serving as missionaries in the Pokot area in the late 1990s. Since their missionary experience they have helped over the years primarily for scholarships for education.
Since 2018, STF has been assisting in the development of the Light of Life Primary School in Amaya where it is estimated that over 90% of the people live in mud and stick huts similar to that in the picture above. Most recently, STF has taken on 2 additional projects. In Amaya, they are helping with the development with a high school for the area. And, in another remote area called Koloa, they have helped in feeding the people during a three-year drought. But, more importantly, a well has been drilled to provide drinking and water for gardens.
The Saidia Tafadhali Foundation asks and prays that you will help someone somewhere around the world to meet the needs of those less fortunate. After you view our site, we hope that you will contact us so we can send you more information on the projects and how you can help. All donations you make go 100% to the project you indicate and are tax deductible as a 501C3 donation.
As we are told in Matthew: 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
The Reddings say "To God be the Glory". people
