Kenya is in crisis. Each day that goes by brings many impoverished children nearer to a lifetime of hunger, lack of education, and disease.
The public education system does not allow children to attend unless they have a kindergarten education upon entering, and can purchase an appropriate uniform to attend in.
For many impoverished families, it is nearly impossible to attain this goal. Kindergarten is not free. Uniforms cost money. Without access to these items, by the ages of 8 or 9, these children will never have the opportunity to go to school and get the education they so desperately need to raise themselves out of poverty.
In the rainy season, there is often enough to eat. However, as the year goes by, the dry season takes its toll on the nation and many people do not have nearly enough food to get by on.
When we help address the needs of water, power, healthcare, education, sustainable agriculture and transportation of products to a marketplace, Kenyan’s will rise from poverty. By teaching abstinence, Christians ideals, responsibility, leadership and accountability, the people of Kenya will rise above their poverty and health epidemic.
Kenya is not a country of hopelessness, but one of promise. There is hope for Kenya and its residents of the Guyrobi Valley and it will come from the children.
