THE DOWELL FAMILY · KENYA
Rooted in love.
Sent to serve.
Because family
is worth it.
We’re Jonathan and Andrea Dowell. Kenya is home to our family, and a place where God has invited us to listen, learn, and serve.
Alongside the Kenyan team at WezaCare Solutions, we’re working toward a future where children grow up in safe, loving families.
“God sets the lonely in families.” PSALM 68:6
OUR FAMILY, OUR CALLING
A life in Kenya.
A heart for belonging.
We believe children need more than a roof over their heads. They need people who know their story, celebrate their growth, and stay.
For our family, that conviction has become part of everyday life. We serve with WezaCare Solutions, supporting organizations as they move from institutional care toward safe, permanent family-based care.
Our calling begins with listening. We walk alongside Kenyan leaders, families, and local churches, building on the strength already present in their communities.
