The Avoda Project was created out of a deep-rooted belief that our work is an act of worship, and that true service to others is a reflection of our faith. We are a nonprofit organization founded on the principle that our efforts to support and uplift others through education, healthcare, and community service not only change lives but honor a greater purpose. Our mission is grounded in the Hebrew word ‘Avodah,’ which means “work,” but also symbolizes the seamless integration of work, worship, and service.

The journey began with Dr. Kanema & Dr. Drew Clark a passionate husband and wife team  who saw a gap in access to essential services for vulnerable communities. From its humble beginnings, The Avoda Project was built on a vision to empower individuals—equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in every aspect of life. Whether it’s through access to quality education, life-saving healthcare, or direct community outreach, The Avoda Project is about more than just meeting immediate needs; it’s about inspiring lasting transformation.

Our story is one of compassionate action—dedicated to improving the lives of those most at risk and providing the resources and support needed to help them rise above their circumstances. From the beginning, we have been fueled by the idea that when we serve others with genuine care and humility, we are not just giving—we are receiving. Every time we help a child, a family, or a community, we are reminded of the deep connection we share with the world and with each other.

The Avoda Project isn’t just about charity—it’s about dignity, respect, and partnership. We believe that by working alongside those we serve, we create a collaborative environment where transformation can flourish. Every project we take on, every initiative we launch, is built on the understanding that work and worship are intertwined.

Whether it’s organizing medical mission trips, providing school supplies for children, or offering mentorship programs for mothers, we approach every endeavor with a heart for service and a desire to see lives changed for the better. Our faith guides our work and reminds us daily that true service is a way to worship and glorify the Creator by uplifting and empowering His people.

As we continue to grow and expand our reach, we invite you to join us in this mission. The work is never done, and every person we help is a step toward building a stronger, more compassionate world. Together, through Avoda, we can make a lasting impact.
