Project information:
The project in Kenya that your sponsor child is a part of is called Esther Home. The project was founded by Youth Apart, a ministry set up by Daniel and Marlies Hoogteijling. At the Esther Home, they shelter young teenage mothers with their children. The mission of this home is to create a healthy living environment with God's love and to offer the necessary facilities, such as counseling. In this way they want to change the vulnerable lives of these teenage mothers and their children so that they can have a positive influence in their society.
Your support provides your sponsored child with food, school and learning materials, housing and medical care, so that he has a great future in which they can begin to realize their dreams.
