About this organization
Mission
TO CHANGE LIVES IN KENYA THROUGH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITH A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNTITIES.
About
CHILD & COLLEGE SPONSORSHIP - OUR SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM OF CHILDREN COSTS 35 PER MONTH. SPONSORED CHILDREN WRITE TO THEIR SPONSORS THREE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SPONSORS RECEIVE MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS ALONG WITH QUARTERLY LETTERS EDUCATING THEM ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND EVENTS IN KENYA THAT AFFECT THE LIFE OF THEIR SPONSORED CHILD. WE REQUIRE THE STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY HIGH SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY, TO MAINTAIN A C AVERAGE TO BE ACTIVE IN THE PROGRAM. THIS ENCOURAGES COMMITMENT AND APPRECIATION ON THE PART OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ALIKE KENYAN STAFF FOLLOWS UP WITH THE CHILDREN ON A REGULAR BASIS TO INSURE THAT THEY ARE DOING WELL AND THAT THEIR HOME ENVIRONMENT IS SAFE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 602 STUDENTS, 6 ENROLLED IN TRADE SCHOOL AND 7 POST SECONDARY STUDENTS. WIDOW'S MIGHT - DUE TO THE POLYGAMOUS CULTURE, WIDOWS MAKE UP A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE WORK IN. LACK OF EDUCATION AND ANY JOB SKILLS LEAVE THEM VULNERABLE, AT RISK AND UNABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN PHYSICALLY OR WITH THEIR EDUCATION. SPONSORSHIP OF A WIDOW COSTS 65 A MONTH AND GIVES MONTHLY FOOD ASSISTANCE, COVERS THE COST OF FIVE FEMALE GOATS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR AND GIVES THEM JOB TRAINING ALONG WITH CLASSES IN LITERACY AND BIBLE INSTRUCTION. THIS PAST YEAR WE HAVE DONE TRAINING IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: BREAD MAKING, JEWELRY MAKING, SOAP MAKING AND INTRODUCTION TO SEWING. OUR TRAINING EXTENDED TO ORKARKAR, NKOISUSU, ILKERINE AND KIBERA. THE BREAD MAKING AND SEWING ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PARTS OF THE PROGRAM. THE WIDOWS TRAINED IN KIBERA ARE NOW MAKING BEAUTIFUL CANVAS AND LEATHER TOTE BAGS. WE ARE EXTENDING THE PRODUCT LINE THAT THEY WILL MAKE. WE NOW HAVE 49 WOMEN SPONSORED IN THE PROGRAM WITH MANY MORE WAITING TO RECEIVE SPONSORSHIP.
