Food Distribution in the Slums

Over the past few years, as we've been developing our plans and raising the money to finish our home, Susan and I have worked to establish a relationship with the people who live in the slum near our apartment. We want them to know who we are, and know Visible Grace well, and, to be honest, I am so eager to be doing something, anything to help- so we go to the slums and we visit people, bringing them prayers and food and clothing.

The slums that run behind Ngong Town
Millions of people in Kenya survive on $2 or less per day. This is not enough to thrive. We want to go into the slums near Saturday, July 28th to distribute food and clothing to our neighbours there.

$8.50 will buy groceries for a family for one week. We want to raise enough money to feed twenty families...or more! Can you help?

Next weekend I will post pictures of my time in the slums as well as details about how we are trying to help the kids who live there. Some of the orphaned children from this area will be the ones living on our land!

We need 20 people to donate $8.50 apiece. If this is something you are interested in doing- having an immediate and positive impact on someone in need- please click on the PayPal button to the right of this post. All donations are tax deductible!

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
