Provide a HOME for Kenya's Street-Children 2016

Orphans, destitute, HIV+, vulnerable children – the children in this image live in the city dump. Often an entire single parent family lives in the dump.  Fire burn plastic, rubber, batteries and other carcinogenic trash all day long.  The children learn to roam the dump for the things they can sell, recycle or eat.  There are many organizations working in the dump, others bring people out of the dump, some try to develop work for single mothers, some build schools for the children to attend, others take children from the dump and bring them to children’s homes.   No single organization is equipped to meet all the needs. But all are working to their capacity to make a difference.  That is how it will be done – one child at a time – one single parent at a time - one donor at a time.  Thank you for donating to Expanding Opportunities Street Children Project.

Imam has been at JWHS for a few years.  He was found on the streets of Nakuru. He was brought there by his sickly grandmother to leave him with his street hardened, drug addicted uncle as the only relative.  Active and mischievous with a twinkle in his eye, he settled into the routine.  He had been unable to attend school regularly, and struggled in the beginning. But now he is catching up and performing well. 

He and his best buddy Amos work hard and play hard. It is great to see brothers, not by blood but by love, working and playing and even squabbling together. 

He did not have a sponsor until recently. Now a church sponsors his monthly needs. We are so grateful when sponsors step forward and accept the expenses of a child. We are then able to accept more children.
