Komitai could not concentrate in class. On being asked why, it was found that Komitai hadn't eaten food for two days.  His mother had died a month earlier and his father, who had other wives, didn't like him.  Komitai cried a lot in school due to the mistreatment of his father and due to his hunger.  Komitai was over sixteen. 

We moved Komitai to a boarding school. Now he is assured of three meals a day and a warm bed.

Doris a child from Sekenani in Narok district was to be married off.  Her wedding was arranged for after she completed her eigth grade exam in the year 2001.

Her case was reported to us and three days before her wedding she came to us in tears fearful of what she was being forced into.  We took her in and took her to a Pastor in a place called Leshuta.  We hid her there until the time came for her to join high school.

Doris now has a sponsor from the United States, Mrs Peggy Daniel.  Because of Peggy, Doris can study in the high school.  Doris says, "I am so happy to God and those who assited me to bring back my hope."

Mary was being sexualy molested by her father.  She came to us and told her sad story and we decided to put it to a stop.  Mary is now in high school.  She says, "It is the greatest thing that has happened to me. I will always be thankful to God and those who came to my aid at the very point of need."

You may not realise how lucky you are, if you come to Kenya and see how many children are hungry and how many children have no future.  It is true there will always be a needy person but your help will make it one less needy person. You can put back a smile on that little girl or boy's face.  Your help will bring back hope to someone no matter how small it is it will make a difference.
