Feeding Program for Orphans, Widows and Elderly in Oyugis, Kenya.

BACKGROUND:

Oyugis in Homabay County, Kenya, one of the leading areas with HIV and AIDS incidences and deaths in Kenya as of today.  Most of the people in the communities are living below the poverty line and are facing many problems, viz., lack of food, shelter, health care, education and un-employment and thus the people live in utter poverty. Poverty has always been recognized as the major cause of death and disability. Poverty brings on lack of safe Drinking Water, inadequate food, poor health care and poor education. All these will have effect on health. The Poor families are unable to educate their orphans and children, they are not able to pay the fees in the school. That’s reason the orphans and children are being dropped from the school. HIV and AIDS has rendered so many ORPHANS parentless with nobody to care and feed them. These ORPHANS starve without shelter, food and clothing and roam along the community and streets and later engage in substance abuse due to frustrations of life.

Due to the deaths of HIV/AIDS affected persons. These orphans’ children are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing and participating in antisocial, criminal activities. Therefore, we envisage mainstreaming these Orphans by providing care, support and protection in our ORPHAN FOSTER HOMES.

TARGET GROUP OF THE FEEDING PROJECT:

Orphans 1-16 years of age who are parentless and are placed in FOSTER CARE HOMES, their GUARDIANS who mostly widows, Elderly and Very poor families.

Feeding Program

Through support from Sky Cross, Inc. Organization we started our Christian Feeding Program — “Food Buckets of Love” and “Care Packages” – where 20 needy HIV/Aids poor families and foster homes and the orphans as well as the elderly who live in poverty, received food supplies. Food staples like baking flour, cooking oil, bread and sugar were distributed to widowed families and a few foster families.

“The Combined Federal Campaign is the world’s largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign…” Combined Federal Campaign (opm.gov) This campaign raises funds through pledges from federal employees for non-profit organizations world-wide. Sky Cross takes part in it every year. This video is a talk that our president, David, participated in this year to explain about our organization and how we use these donations to assist the poor.

Sky Cross has expanded our mission to help other places beyond the Texas/Mexico Border. Our primary mission remains in helping the poor along the border, but a recent contact from Ethiopia made me open up the vision beyond. God was clearly directing a series of events that has brought the Board of Sky Cross and me to come to the decision to expand the vision.

The pictures to the left are the results of our donation to this church. Witness what they were able to do accomplish with our help! GOD IS GOOD!

If you are unaware of what is happening in Ethiopia, go to Ethiopia Special Report Gift Slip – The Voice of the Martyrs (persecution.com) to read about the persecution happening there. Earlier this year (June 30th, 2021) the rebel militias in Southern Ethiopia handed a defeat to the Ethiopia government forces, capturing a province. The country is falling into chaos. The attached picture are the elders of the church giving thanks to God and Sky Cross as we begin to help with contributions to help the poor and the persecuted in their church and 7 church plants. Please pray for these people. Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world. The poverty is rampant.
