The first three boys go to Secondary School158 viewsThe first three of our boys have now started secondary school. Naftal, Brian and Victor have started at Daraja Mbili School in Kisii. Secondary education has to be paid for and we have been blessed with sponsors who have offered to pay for the boys. It is no wonder that kenyan parents don't send their children to secondary school because of the cost. It seems unfair that they have to decide between food and school.

Beaten for being a street boy101 viewsThis is Tony. He was badly beaten by a man the Police are now looking for. He ended up losing his left eye because it was so badly damaged from the beating. One of 43 boys we are feeding in Meru, he eagerly awaits a home. They have no-one else to turn to at the moment. We have the land but we now need the money to build a safe house (our second project).
Please go to Just giving and support us.
