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.”
