PROJECT IN Kenya

Esther Home Kenya


The project is run by Youth Apart. Youth Apart, a ministry set up by Daniel and Marlies Hoogteijling. In the Esther Home they take care of young teenage mothers with their children. The mission of this house is to create a healthy living environment with God's love and to offer the necessary facilities, such as counseling. In this way the teenage mothers are made resilient and they are taught how to lovingly take care of their children. In addition, they are given the opportunity to go back to school after childbirth so that they have a good future perspective.

Unfortunately, it often happens in Kenya that teenage girls are raped by men from the village or family. When the girls get pregnant, it is a disgrace to the family and the girls are forced to have an abortion. If they refuse, they are in some cases kicked out of the house and even outside the village with all the consequences that entails. Esther Home takes care of these girls, guides them during pregnancy and childbirth and during the first months after childbirth.

Sometimes it happens that the family accepts their daughter with child back into their family, but if this is not the case, the mother can stay in the center. She can then pick up her school again and build a hopeful future!

In addition to this project, Daniel and Marlies have also established a number of other children's homes, including Upright Home and Bidii Home. They take care of these children together with a pastoral couple from Kenya.

School desk
Hope4hope, one of our projects in Kenya, miraculously has a school building at its disposal. Children from the neighborhood who cannot go to school can still receive education! In addition to the building, they obviously need much more to start the school. https://youtu.be/vyvjJr0Yhcw?si=ARdX8FtGLPtxnSTn

Soccer shoes
A poor family in Africa often does not have enough money to send their child(ren) to school. Therefore, they will soon "force" their daughters to marry early so that they are taken care of. For these young women there is no chance to learn and build on their qualities and gifts. Hope4hope in Kenya has decided to include these young women in the football trajectory. In this way they can build on their qualities and limits and also look up and indicate these. In this way they make themselves more resilient and they are stronger in society. There is such great enthusiasm that unfortunately there is always a shortage of football boots, balls and clothing. Especially the shoes wear out quickly and playing football barefoot causes the necessary injuries. These girls are very happy with their own pair of shoes! It gives them the chance to fight, train and get stronger in the game. you see the girls liven up day by day. Sometimes they are on the field before dawn and can't wait to get started. Will you help with a new set of football boots? You have no idea how grateful they are to you!
