Moses is one such child. He dropped out of school during the first grade after his father died. His mother couldn’t afford the school fees or uniforms required by public schools in Kenya. She had no job and survived merely on favors from friends. Moses resorted to collecting and selling plastic just to buy something to eat. Paying for school was not an option.
One day, a teacher at a local Christian school spotted Moses next to the school gate picking up old plastic. He talked to Moses, and Moses shared his story. The teacher held his hand and took him to the kitchen where he ate, and he was given some food to take to his siblings. The teacher told him to come to school the following day, which he did. Not only did he receive food, but he was admitted into the school and was given a uniform and other clothes.
Moses is now happy at school and doing quite well in class. Outside the classroom, Moses is a very talented footballer (soccer player) and would like to play professionally one day.
All children have big dreams, no matter where they live. But so many like Moses are trapped in poverty and hopelessness. By investing in them for the long-term and providing practical resources, we’re helping them break free and succeed. We want to see them change their world for Christ!
