Ben

Ben is a college student born and raised in the Samburu of Kenya. He’s an orphan who has had several guardians. Through the help of Bishop Peter Lesuruapus, he was able to start his education at aunt Kenya University in 2017, studying Public Relations and Diplomacy.

Ben had to finance his own education and often missed classes to do manual labor to raise school fees. He has one year left to complete his studies, so this is not a long-term sponsorship. He loves Jesus and thanks God for how far he’s been able to go in his education. With a little help, he could complete his degree. His first semester is $400. Could you help with that cost?

Rose

Rose, 17, is focused on helping her grandmother and fulfilling her dreams. As you can see from the video, she and her grandmother live in very poor conditions.

Rose is in her third year of high school in Kenya but has been sent home with school fees overdue. She owes $300 now and then will need a sponsor for 2022, to allow her to complete high school.

Rose explains in the video that she is at risk for a forced marriage, which she does not want. Instead, she wants to get her education and help her grandmother. Please consider sending any help for Rose.

Esther and Martha

Esther, 13, and Martha, 14, are the daughters of pastors faithfully serving their people. Both sisters have attended school until recently when their parents were unable to pay the school fees. They have been sent home until fees of $150 each ($300 total) have been paid. Both would like to continue their schooling. Esther’s and Martha’s family lives in the Samburu of Kenya.

The school fees are very affordable to us: $300 for the next school year. That breaks down to $25 per month per girl. Please pray for the sisters and consider committing to $25 per month for one sister or $50 per month to keep both in school.

FRANCIS

Francis is 22 years old, attending Eldoret Technical Training Institute to earn a certificate in animal health and production.

Francis lost his mother when he was 10 years old (generally women are in charge of caring for children) and stayed in slums and out in the cold during those years. He was able to get his primary and secondary school by the grace of God and some well-wishers. Food was always difficult.

 While in college, he has worked cleaning stores and car garages and motorcycles to raise his school fees.

 He is in his fourth year of college and is trusting God for one more year’s support to finish his degree. He needs $750 to finish that schooling.

MARY

Mary is the mother of 6 children, expected to provide for their care. She earns money from neighbors who will pay her to do laundry, carry water, work in the garden, clean house. There is not always work and, on those days, Mary and her children don’t eat.

She is strong and willing to work but needs resources to help her start a small business. If you can help Mary purchase some livestock for her business, that would help her care for her family. $100 would let her buy at least one head of livestock.
