Kipepeo means butterfly in Swahili—a picture of the transformation we believe is possible through Jesus Christ.
As Kilimanjaro's first Christian inpatient drug and alcohol recovery program, we walk with men from addiction toward restored identity, renewed purpose, and lasting freedom.

For more than 15 years, Denny and Sarah Reed have served in ministry across East Africa, following God's call to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
What began with walking alongside men trapped in addiction—listening to their stories, bringing them to church, and helping them reach rehabilitation—grew into Kipepeo Ministries in 2024.
Today, their vision is a safe, Christ-centered home where men can encounter Jesus, find freedom, rebuild their lives, and become new creations.
