Child Sponsorship - Kenya
History: Only a few kilometers from bustling downtown Nairobi, Mathare Valley is one of the world's largest slums. Over a million people live an an area the size of an amusement park. Whole families, single-parent families and orphans populate Mathare Valley, often sharing a single room. Jobs are scarce, food is expensive, and disease runs rampant due to the lack of basic sanitation.
Partnership: Generations Christian Church partners with Christian Missionary Fellowship (CMF) and their Hope Partnership program to bring light to the darkness, food to the hungry, education to children, job skills to parents, and hope to the hopeless. In addition, the Hope Partnership Initiative utilizes Community Health Evangelism (CHE) which helps people identify and create solutions to their challenges with their own resources.
Service: Generations Christian Church sends teams of youth and adults to assist in the Nairobi ministry (i.e., light construction, kids camps, micro-enterprise and medical assistance). Check out current Short-Term Mission Trip opportunities to Kenya on our missions webpage.
Sponsorship: GCC has "adopted" the Mathare Valley slum to offer a future for children through child sponsorship. People from our congregation sponsor elementary children for about a dollar a day or secondary school children for about two dollars a day. Sponsored children receive an education, food, clothing, medical care, and books in the name of Christ.
