Our Story Hand Prints Story

Handprints Society Handprints Society was born from a divine calling placed on the heart of the late John Mukolwe in 2010, alongside his wife Jacinta Mukolwe. John grew up in extreme poverty where hunger, lack of school fees, and hardship shaped his early life. But through God’s grace, his story transformed into one of compassion and purpose.

When God later blessed him, John never forgot his past struggles. Instead, he used them as fuel to serve others. He believed that if God could lift him, He could lift entire communities out of poverty.

What started as simple acts of obedience — feeding widows, supporting families, and helping children — slowly grew into a movement of love that would later become Handprints Society.

In 2022, during outreach in West Pokot, the mission expanded significantly. The need in Karia village revealed deep poverty, lack of education, and broken systems that required long-term intervention.

A Turning Point — The Birth of Bushfire Ministries

This led to the birth of Bushfire Ministries, a branch of Handprints Society dedicated to reaching remote communities with education, healthcare, and spiritual transformation.

Though John has gone to be with the Lord, his vision continues to live on through the ministry, partners, and communities transformed across Kenya.
