ORPHAN RESCUE DONATIONS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN KENYA

The Anchor and Kenya Kids program in Kenya was very pleased to receive Kenya shillings 208,730 which was credited to the Orphan Rescue account. Six families with over 20 children had been identified as the pioneer beneficiaries of this fund in Kenya. The selected families have various material needs but it was decided that assistance with tuition fee would be of greatest immediate help to them all. The recipients of the funds will be able to attend uninterrupted schooling for at least one full year. The care givers with the assistance of the programs will be able to work out how to meet the other needs which are not as financially demanding. The tuition fees, meals and uniform needs total Kenya shillings 222,000.

The details of the selected orphans follow one by one:

IRENE

Irene is a robust 17 year old who is actively involved in drama, music, Girl Guides, and was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Irene lost her mother who was a single parent 6 years ago after a long illness. She has since then relied on well wishing families within the Nairobi Christian church for accommodation and up keep during the school holidays. She is currently housed in a family of four. Irene is in her third year of high school in a boarding school located in Mukuru kwa Njenga. The rescue funds have lightened the load on her “foster” family at this time.
