Thanks to 38 people who each donated $1 - ACEF was able to purchase a sack of maize and 5kg of cooking oil for the handicapped children of Jomo Kenyatta Home in Embu, Kenya. We are grateful that we are able to help this home that is dedicated towards giving children with disabilities a fair chance at life and a future.
The items purchased will help feed the 25 children living in the home for over a month. Asante sana for all those involved in this mission!
On another note:
Due to the recent ethnic turmoil in Kenya, we were forced to put a lot of our projects on hold. The Kenyans are very optimistic and are doing their best to go about their daily lives, but food was not and continues to not be as readily as available as it used to be and prices have significantly inflated. It's making it very difficult for locals to purchase items necessary for everyday life, so our mission to help Kenyans could not have come at a better time.
Schools fees have also felt the effects of the turmoil and our next project will be to help sponsor a young orphaned boy for the last 3 years of his primary schooling. What used to cost $525 for a year, has risen to $770. All the help we can receive will be greatly appreciated.
We will have more information on the young boy in the next week and will be sure to post it on this blog.
