Feed 1,800 orphaned children in rural Kenya.

We continue to ask for your support to fight against malnutrition and starvation in Kenya.This is a time of severe and urgent need, with drought throughout Kenya having a terrible effect on crops - causing many families to miss meals or greatly reduce normal portions to try and get by.

Virtually all of the guardian families served by MCC have asked about the possibility of any relief food at their most recent visits. Some of the younger kids are too weak due to lack of food to make the long walk to schools or are too weak and fatigued to be alert and do well in their studies. Elderly and the children face the greatest risk at this time. Makindu Children’s Centre provides staples such as cooking oil, beans, and maize.

Your help and support for Makindu’s Global Giving Project to feed orphaned children is more important than ever. Your support has enable us to provide them with the new water pump and expanded solar power, so now the Centre will be able to expand the garden plots available to guardians where they can plant and grow fresh vegetables to augment the staples from the food baskets. We will continue our efforts to prevent future malnutrition, but must emphasize, that at this time the need is very immediate and life threatening to the house holds we serve. To provide a month's supply for our 300+ households, we must raise $7,000.00 very soon. Please consider even a small donation today, which will help this effort.

Thank you for supporting Makindu Children’s Program.
