WE FUND MEALS FOR CHILDREN IN KENYA 365 DAYS A YEAR
We are delivering a programme of supplementary nutrition for children in Kenya who, because of poverty, cannot meet their basic needs. We reach out with help to people we know personally. Many are struggling for a handful of beans, rice or maize, especially now that the prices of food in Kenya have grown so high. The war raging in Ukraine has sparked inflation that has not spared Africa. Another problem is the drought spreading poverty and causing more and more families and children to face malnourishment and starvation.
Responding to the call of Our Lord Jesus, ‘YOU GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT!’ (Matthew 14:13-21), directed to His disciples, we too desire to reach with our help those needing our support the most.
Right now, the programme mainly covers children staying in Kenya’s children’s centres. In many of the centres the children’s diet is very poor and cannot provide appropriate nourishment. Our assistance also goes to families who cannot afford to purchase adequate food. In many Kenyan families there still continues to be only one meal per day.
