Greetings!
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share our ministry with you! We trust that you’re all keeping well.
Our Website is Finalized!! - https://www.sportsaidaidafrica.org
I had the privilege of sharing the gospel with the wheelchair basketball National team before their departure for national duty.
Education: Sports Aid Africa(SAA) donated learning materials to 1000 children of Mbagathi Road Primary School(MRPS). Prior to receiving these gifts, students were attending classes with very limited school supplies. Some had never received new school supplies.
Tutor: Each child at MRPS is required to pay an extra $ 100 for their tutor per term which amounts to $ 300 per year. Amajority of these children are denied such an opportunity because their parents and guardian struggle to raise such funds. Their parents and guardian earn as low as $2 per day for the service they offered which they give priority to paying the essential basic needs like rent, food, and transportation.
Lunch: Lunch costs $200 per term amounting to $600 per year for a child in a public school in Kenya. This meal is usually very crucial since for many it is their only meal yet it remains a dream to a majority of these underprivileged students leading to poor performance in their academics.
The Place: The MRPS sports field has not been utilized for a long time due to unkept fields. However, we’ve been able to keep the grass trimmed through your generous support. This has provided a safe place and a relaxed environment for children to have fun and develop their talent. A lot of school activities have happened on this field since it was prepared, including the government functions among others.
SAA: We awarded outstanding players with Godly character, disciplined and who had performed exceptionally well in their academics with learning materials and sports equipment.
Way Forward
Please Pray For:
My Prayer: Forgive us Lord for ignoring the very reason we are here on earth. You designed us to bring the world to you and we are busy turning the world for ourselves. Please give us a generous and loving heart to support these marginalized families.
“The king will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did for me.’” Matthew 25:40 GW
Thank you for praying and partnering with us!
