Food Baskets for Households in Kenya!

This year our holiday food baskets were a success. Hundreds of households received a food basket thanks to our wonderful donors. In any part of the world, food is one of the key components to a tradition. Traditions keep culture strong, and give one a sense of belonging. For so many of our households, food is so scarce that having a traditional holiday meal is rare. This results in many households going to bed starving during their holidays instead of sharing stories with full bellies. Thanks to our donors many households were able to enjoy a rare and extravagant holiday meal which provided them with leftovers for several days. We will deliver food baskets for as long as we have your continued support. Thank you for choosing to give, especially since food is a necessity for growth.

Right now the kids are getting ready to finish their exams and start their fall break. This means that they will be at home a lot more and helping with the chores. It also means that the holidays are coming and that the scarcity of food will be even more upsetting for many of them.

Thanks to our food baskets, we have been able to provide households with enough food for an entire holiday meal and more. It has been a sense of relief for many families because gathering together for a feast is a major tradition of the holidays, and they are so happy to be able to participate.

Many of the guardians who own the households voluntarily adopt these sick and orphaned children out of the goodness of their hearts. They are typically struggling to survive for themselves and may not even know the kids, but they offer them a home. They explain their reasoning to be, “kwa umpendo wa mtoto.” It means for the love of a child.

We appreciate all your support and hope you continue to donate to our food baskets especially as the holidays arrive.

Asante
