Caring for Both Vulnerable Girls and Boys of Kenya

The work in Kenya is both rewarding and heart breaking.  Each child is dependent upon you, the donor.  This was a recent morning at JWHS, our children’s home.   A well wisher thought we could help and brought these two girls.  They are siblings.  The elder one with red dress is Deborah;  the small one is Rosemary.  Their father died in the year 2013 and their mother died in 2015. They are living with a distant aunt because she is the only existing relative in the village, Mangu.  They eat at the mercy of people.  They are unable to go to school because they have no uniform or shoes.  We told her that at this moment we are behind with donations for the children we already serve but they will be on the waiting list.  They returned with hope the next morning. We fed them breakfast and had to send them on their way. 

 Their uniforms would cost approximately $35.00 each for one complete uniform, their shoes about $15-20 each child. The school will require them to buy a desk for about $15.00 each and then school fees on top of that.  That is the one time cost  to get them into school. Then each term, three terms per year in a public school is approximately $50.00 plus a few books and school supplies and one new uniform annualy.  As they are in lower primary, we seek sponisors willing to take them through high school.  

Thank you for your donations as that is how together we can make a difference. Tell your friends about us on GlobalGiving. Our waiting list grows.
