Feed hungry children in Kenya

Peter Kaindi is a single parent of 8 children. He tries to support his family by doing day labor odd jobs. He earns about $1.50 per day. His wife died from cancer. All nine family members live in the 2 rooms of a crude mud brick house with dirt floor and no latrine. Five of the children are school-age but three of them have dropped out because their father has not been able to afford the fees and uniforms. A generous GHP donor has offered to pay for a monthly food ration to help keep this family from going hungry and is also covering the school expenses so that the children can attend school. The same donor has decided to cover the monthly food ration for another family, a grandmother caring for her two orphaned grandchildren. These two families now bring the total to 24 families enrolled in the Global Health Partnerships (GHP) program of feeding the poorest.

In the three months (May through July 2015) since the last report the GHP outreach clinics provided screening and medical care, including immunizations and assessment for malnutrition for 225 children. Four children were treated for moderate or severe malnutrition.

The “Feed Hungry Children in Kenya” project provides relief from hunger and child malnutrition very effectively and efficiently. 100% of the donations that are received by GHP go directly into program services! (A GHP Board member is covering all GHP administrative expenses).
