Sometimes, making a difference begins with something as simple as shelter and a bed to sleep in.
In the Mount Kenya region, three young siblings are facing a reality no child should have to face. They are looking after themselves, living in a tiny hut and sleeping on a dirt floor. The youngest also suffers from severe asthma.
They are three of the nine children we currently support through Empower Literacy Kenya Foundation (ELKF), helping them with education and basic needs.
But yesterday, there is some good news.
Thanks to our wonderful Shantel Becky (Rebecca) andSangstar Maiyani (John), who have taken care of everything while I’ve been down at the coast visiting a school, the children’s little home has been cleaned, they have food, and, perhaps most importantly, they now have simple beds to sleep in.
It may not sound like much to some of us. But to these children, it means comfort, dignity and knowing that someone cares.
I am deeply grateful to Rebecca and John. This is what our work is really about. Not grand promises, but ordinary people doing what they can, with love and compassion.
As always, together we can make a difference. One child, one small step, one act of kindness at a time. 🙏❤️
