Ken and Nancy founded the Provision Charitable Foundation after returning from an epic adventure to Tanzania with Dr. Louise Jilek-Aall, whose dedication and long-term commitment inspired Ken and Nancy to get involved in helping the epileptic people, the first and continuing project of Provision.

“Once Nancy and I met the wonderful people of Tanzania, there was no turning back. As the foundation has grown and diversified, we continue to meet talented people eager to work hard for their families, and it is a joy to see the results they create from being given just a small
opportunity. Our friends in Tanzania have become our African family.”

Nancy and I are so very thankful we have been given this God-given opportunity to make a difference.
