The King's Children

Introduction

They live in dilapidated makeshifts that go in the name of a house. They loiter from street to street or estate to estate in search of something to eat.

Some have parents, others don't. But there's little difference in between. Their parents are themselves destitute. One meal a day is what they can at best afford.

You will find them everywhere in Kenya – from the dimly lit streets of Kenya's towns, to the derelict slums that are scattered all over. Are these the children of Ham? No! Not by a long shot. They are the King's children.

The Problem

Increased poverty in the country and the world at large have led to increased number of children who are dropping out of school at a very early age and in lower levels of education. Some do not even get a chance to enrol in any school at all. Many of them are living in the streets of major towns and cities or in the slums. They also survive on food from the dustbins or get a very unbalanced meal if they are lucky to get food from the kitchen. This is due to lack of shelter and adequate income to buy proper food. Some are employed as cheap casual labourers in their endeavour to meet their basic necessities, thus child labour.

This is because their parents cannot sustain them due to rising inflation and increased unemployment in the country and the world at large.

We therefore seek to give these children a normal life by providing these necessities and education in general through inviting sponsors in the world to help these children and support them as the Lord Jesus enables them.

By assisting these needy children, you will forever put a meaning to their lives. As we make this appeal to you, we realise that there may be many questions in your mind as to whether your donation will reach the intended children. I can only tell you that all donations towards this project will not be diverted to any other use. I will also make sure that sponsors maintain contact with these children by facilitating communication between sponsor and child. We will also maintain a profile of every sponsored child on this site. Updates on the progress academically or otherwise will be available to respective sponsors on regular basis.

Sponsorship

If you would like to serve the Lord by assisting these children, please contact Jane Mwangi (pictured) at jane@swordofthespiritministries.net with details of your donation. We will then dispatch the donation to the relevant school or to the purpose intended if need be we do it ourselves. Alternatively, we could advise you on how to get your donation to the intended school or purpose directly.

I am a Social Worker who holds a BA degree in Sociology. I have worked at Rongai Child Development Centre - a Compassion International - Kenya aided Project. After leaving the job, God had already put in me a burden of assisting needy children to lead a normal life by providing for their needs. With SSM Ministries, I want to facilitate the poor children both locally and internationally to get sponsors for their education and other basic needs.
