Support 250 Orphans with Education and Sport

Kenya as you have been following up is of late the headline news all over the world. The flawed-controversial Kenyan elections results to which the loser was announced as the winner and the winner as the loser have made us a country lost to much (lives through deaths, outbreak of disease, lootings, houses burnt, properties destroyed and now ethnicity kills more than AIDS itself here.) Estimated 3.4 million Kenyans are now refugees in their own country and more than 3000 lives lost within one month.

Kisumu where SACRENA project is situated is the most hard hit areas with children now engaging themselves into acts like prostitution, thuggary and no security at all.

SACRENA during this crisis was affected much, our projects here supports children without considering ethnic backgrounds as we have done before helping orphans who are luos, Kikuyus, luyahs, kalenjins and other 42 Kenyan tribes. Now Kibaki belongs to Kikuyu and where we are belongs to Raila whom is said to have won the elections now we were targeted as organization. More than 4oo youths armed with crude weapons, pangas etc came in looted all out computers, office stationaries and everything then set the office on fire.

We had no alternative but first to make sure all the orphans, people with AIDS, vulnerables and our volunteers were safe. Then we Hid them in our church knowing that they also made it to the church stole all the chairs, PA system and set the church too on fire. It was terrible.

But were still to do something. With the help of the Kenya Red Cross we pitched 2 tents outside the field whre SACRENA iffice was to accomodate the displaced victims. Starting with our volunteers providing Counseling service, Alliasing with the Police for Security, and now the situation for the past 3 weaks is overwhelming we cannot help any more-There is no food, fear of outbreak of communicable diseases, no temporary structures, clothes, medication, no latrines. This is the urgent request for the desparate needy Kenyans hosted at SACRENA needs your urgent double support for bringing hope.

As the politicians with the help of the UN, EU, Commonwealth, Africa Union. The mediation efforts to bring this to an end is there being chaired by the former UN boss HE.Koffi Annan and other eminent persons as they looks for the long time solution, Kenya has been a home for many outside refugees e.g Rwanda, Uganda, Somalia and Sudan. Already through the American Embassy here in Nairobi-Kenya they are seeking International Aid Urgency to help nation wide. The UN has already said they are considering helping Kenya, the EU soliciting support too. At the organizational level we cry for you to come to our aid. You can get clothes, food, toys, blankets, temporary tents, soap, sanitary towels etc. This can be urgent through our contacts here.

The support we got from the Globalgiving we spent it for the specific purpose of orphan support that it was meant for and we didnt want to interfere first children were to get back to school, get office again where we can run our activities, build 2 toilets, Build one house for the orphan taking care for fellow orphans -one family, purchase 50 uniforms for 50 OVC and purchase 5 balls.

We are now convinced that with your help we can help our country, community and our people solve their own problems. I encourage you to kindly write to us directly and ask any questions, input and idea through email or call telephone directly and alos encourage others to become part of SACRENA as patners, assocaite and taking SACRENA as their own initaitives.

We are proud of you and bringing smiling face to us is something that will not be forgetted. We are now praying to get Child sponsorship directly and solicit for building materials for the orphan school so that all support coming in can be centralized. Should one be interested in this, please come so that we built and named after you. More so we encourage and plead with you to help with fellow donors to invest at SACRENA.
