Our Founder
The Neema Foundation
Judy McGruder, CEO/Trustee
My Neema Foundation journey began in 2012 while on a family vacation to Africa. We visited an orphanage and fell in love with the children and continued to visit through the years. We sent gifts and donations between visits, helped with medical and basic needs during visits, and watched God work through each struggle and season. On Mother's Day 2016, I personally accepted my calling to mother these children. Since then, we've opened Meena House where we continue to care for precious children in need of a loving home.
