The children at the Makindu Children's Centre are happy kids with imaginations who are excited to grow. However, because of the harsh climate of Kenya, they have low energy due to malnourishment. Their wounds don't heal, and their immune systems are weak. These kids must spend their days looking for food for their families instead of going to school. They go to sleep hungry, and whatever they get they choose to share. They are the most kind and giving people. Thanks to the support we have received, we have been able to change so many of these kids lives. Hundreds of kids are now able to focus on their studies instead of wondering if their family is going to go to bed hungry. Kids are able to grow with strong bones and most of all with better health. We can’t control the climate in Kenya but we can keep helping these children grow and become stronger. These children have dreams of becoming police officers, scientists and lawyers. So many of their dreams are coming true because we have been able to give them the nutrition they need. On behalf of us at Makindu Children’s Program and the kids, asante sana.
