Raising funds for the orphans and widows of HIV/Aids victims in and around Bumala N.W.Kenya to help put back dignity into shattered lives, help the children receive an education, and help the widows become self-sufficient

 
    The children gather together on non-school days –
a sense of belonging one to another!

PROJECTS NEEDING FUNDING

Banana Plantation
Beekeeping
Growing chillies
Pig farming – 4 pairs pigs and training
Water pumps x 4 to help with watering seedlings and banana plants (approx £100 each)

Knowing that food will become extremely scarce, 16 widows have been provided with half acre plots which have been ploughed, harrowed and fertilised and they have each been given maize & beans to plant.

Provided mosquito nets for each orphan and members of their extended families

Started a tree nursery in November – 30,000 seedlings were transplanted and they have started selling them on now.  The Tree Nursery employs up to 20 people a week.   Also the widows and children help and are greatly encouraged to be able to do something positive.     Because of the troubles in Kisumu, Peter had to travel to Nairobi to pick up tubes necessary to use to protect their crops.

Started a Banana Plantation – this project needs to be sponsored

Austine, our blind boy, is now happily settled into Kapenguria School , near Kitale.  Each term, Peter arranges for Austine to be collected and taken back at a cost of approximately £100 each trip – around 200 miles but takes all day because the roads are so poor.

Text Messages from Peter Weyama “We are all going on well except some boys and girls sometimes get sick but they do get treatment so no major problems."

"Please pass on our grateful thanks to all who have been praying for us and supporting us.   We thank God for you all.”
