BRINGING HOPE COMFORT and SUPPORT where there is only DESPAIR (KENYA)

YOU CAN MAKE A DIRECT PERSONAL IMPACT IN THE LIFE OF AN ORPHAN OR CHILD OF A FAMILY IN POVERTY

THANKS to sponsors, Orphan-girl Melvyne (now age 21) graduated from Secondary School in November 2007. With the help of kind Sponsors in the UK, Melvyne is now going on to medical college.

We have sponsors for 18 NURSERY pupils (ages 4 to 7); six PRIMARY pupils (aged 11 to 17); and seven SECONDARY pupils (aged 15 to 21)

The Academic Year in Kenya is from JANUARY to NOVEMBER

MANY MORE SPONSORS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR VERY MANY OTHER ORPHANS who are currently EXCLUDED from School, because they have NO money for School Fees and desperately need Sponsors NOW. One very bright total-Orphan boy started Form 1 of Secondary school in January 2008 but was sent home because a sponsor was not found by 31st March 2006.

You can sponsor three orphans in Nursery School or two in Primary School , or one in Secondary School for the same annual amount of £330.

You will be given receipts with a guarantee, photographs of your Orphan(s), three School reports each year, letters from your Orphan(s), Progress Reports, and Video messages once per year.

Please ask for a list of Orphans who desperately need sponsors, so you can select one, giving your preferences (eg, age, sex, nursery / primary / secondary).

Enabling self-reliance: it is the Policy of Abundance Ministries to enable people to provide for themselves (give them a tool to dig rather than give food). Single-parent Eunice has five children aged 2 to 11; instead of Abundance Ministries providing for them, including their education, we have sponsored Eunice through Polytechnic, so she can provide for them and have some self-respect and self-worth. She graduates in November 2008 with her Diploma in Electronic Engineering.

Abundance Ministries has a bank account dedicated for School fees ONLY.

You can pay either:

• ANNUALLY (currently £330) in late-November
  
• MONTHLY by Standing Order £25
  
  Fees are paid DIRECT to the Schools in JANUARY;
  NO Government or Administration department is involved
  Fees may increase due to inflation and unplanned costs

Of every £1 received into this Charity/Ministry, 100p goes into the work.

In Kenya, our Vice-Chairman/Nursery School Manager, four Teachers and one Classroom Assistant, Orphans-Care Manager and Cook, are full-time paid staff, on very modest allowances. There are NO UK salaries, expenses or commissions. ALL UK Staff (including the full-time Chairman) are unpaid volunteers. Careful controls and prudence are maintained in expenditure.
