Rebecca Contreras is more than a philanthropist — she’s a visionary leader dedicated to changing lives and shaping brighter futures. As co-founder of LaunchPad The Center, Rebecca has turned her passion for empowering others into a powerful mission: to raise up the next generation of leaders and break the cycle of poverty for children in Kenya.
Her leadership is defined by compassion, resilience, and unwavering faith. Drawing from her own journey — one marked by challenges and triumph — Rebecca uses her story to inspire others to rise above adversity. Her book, Lost Girl, has become a beacon of hope, motivating countless young people, like Dennis, to pursue their dreams and achieve greatness against all odds.
Stories of Transformation: From Adversity to Achievement
The impact of LaunchPad’s work is perhaps best captured in the personal stories of those it touches. In a powerful video testimony, Dennis, one of the young people supported by the program, shares how Rebecca’s book, Lost Girl, became a source of inspiration and strength.
Dennis explains how the story resonated deeply with his own struggles, reminding him that adversity is not the end — it’s a stepping stone. Fueled by this message, he found the courage to persevere through challenges, continue his studies, and pursue his dream of becoming a doctor.
His journey is a testament to the ripple effect of LaunchPad’s mission: when one life is empowered, it has the power to uplift many more.
Through LaunchPad’s partnership with Jeremiah’s Family Ministry, Rebecca continues to lead with heart, creating opportunities for over 30 children to receive a loving home, quality education, and spiritual growth.
Rebecca’s leadership proves that when purpose meets action, transformation follows — and the impact can ripple across generations.
