We are serving in the arid desert climate of northern Kenya, where the average annual rainfall is only 500mm. Here, the Rendille tribe, a nomadic people, raise camels, sheep, and goats while moving in search of pasture and water. Many families endure severe food shortages as part of their daily lives. Thanks to the generous support of the Global Children Foundation, we have been able to transport food monthly in a 12-ton truck from a city located seven hours away, providing sustenance to 18 preschools and surrounding villages in the region. These preschools, often constructed from corrugated metal, serve as crucial centers where children—typically from households with three to seven siblings—come to receive a meal.  Currently, around 500 children benefit from the lunch program at these preschools. Each child receives a portion of a meal made from corn and beans, served in plastic containers. This simple meal is a vital source of protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins in this challenging wilderness.

We deeply thank GCF and all its donors for their warm generosity, which illuminates the future of these precious children, shining like gems in this barren desert.
