Results at Christmas: We fed 350 children, parents and families at Kakuma and Lake Victoria.
Going forward: We opened up a new service program that can tour and educate children from Children's Homes. We completed creating a new Christmas Event that gave new options to children and supplies for the arts, skills for their bodies and created new interests in learning, practicing and performing. We brought joy where there was little or none and created 10 new in camp women farmers preparing to grow their own businesses from "victory gardens". Kakuma's Scorpion Center is becoming an IT Center and Educational Hub. In the transition to basic needs for safety and health to be met, where the programs shut down because of missing funding, your help will save lives, change futures, and build new horizons for brave survivors, children and give the moms support to earn valuable skills to thrive. Bridge made their first $5,000 us dollars goal. Please help them to reach their next goal of $25,000 usd and exceed it! They will appreciate your help to get strong again and able. Help the Kenyans to help themselves recover and the Kakuma Residents rebound now. Thank you.
