What does a day look like:
The children go to school from Monday to Friday. They get up at 6 am. The older children help with breakfast and also help the younger children get ready for school. School starts at 7 am. They brush their teeth twice a day, which is not common in Kenya. At 08:45 they return for breakfast consisting of bread or rice with vegetables and sometimes chicken for special occasions. Then they go back to school and return at 12:30 for lunch. Lunch consists of rice or beans with vegetables and an egg. Twice a week they get chapatti which is a delicacy in Kenya. At 16:45 the school is finished and they come back home where they participate in the football or dance project. The older children go to Boarding School. This is mandatory in Kenya. Your sponsor contribution provides for education, food and shelter.
Project information:
Hope4Hope is located in Mombasa in Kenya. Officially started in 2010 for children of Likoni village. Due to poverty, the children could not go to school and had to work in the stone mines. Project leader Reginold Odhiambo has started a football project to activate the children and give them a goal. At the moment this has been expanded with a school project, a food project, a dance and music project, a children's center and a youth center.
In Kenya, the difference between rich and poor is very large. This is why children and young people often turn to criminals out of boredom and hopelessness, often they get into drugs. The goal of Hope4Hope is to show the young people that there is hope and teach them to use their talents in a positive way. When they come together in a safe environment, they are encouraged to do well. It is important for young people to find and develop their talents. Bringing young people together is a good opportunity to tell them about God and show his love. Your support provides your sponsor child with food, school and teaching materials, housing and medical care, so that a great future perspective is offered and in which they can realize their dreams.
