ABOUT GLOBAL
TENDO LA UPENDO
Providing hope and transforming lives.
One life at a time.
OUR
STORY.
In 2004, Tanya Miller, our founder, engaged with others on a local and national level to serve the "least of these". Through visiting the incarcerated and serving the homeless, she felt the Lord calling her to serve internationally, so she packed her bags and traveled to Uganda, Africa. She quickly saw that the simple act of an available education could truly change a life.
So, in 2007, Tanya sponsored one student named Hope. She paid her school fees, boarding fees, provided encouragement, and shared the love of Jesus. Hope, who once had limited opportunities is now a nurse in her village and showing Acts of Love to those in need, just as Tanya had for her.
Since 2007, Global Tendo La Upendo has sponsored more children, trained teachers, provided villages with clean water, visited the incarcerated all while sharing the love and principles of God's Word.
Each Act of Love has empowered the people to seek the hope and future that God intends for them to live. We look forward to sharing Acts of Love wherever God will send us.

TESTIMONIALS.
"I was in Medlock Youth Village last year and you visited me. You said, 'when God gives you a do-over don't waste it.' I wanted you to know that I am not wasting my do-over. I got out of the detention center and I am living with my aunt. I attend McKinney North High School and I am making better choices".
