Given the circumstances that I saw it is barely impossible to choose just 1 or 2 or even 3 children. I now have this new idea in my head - A new dream. I want to sponsor the whole orphanage.
Pastor Mary started this journey in honour of her late son who tragically died in a car accident. She started the Body Of Christ Children's Centre by renovating an old home and began taking in orphans and vulnerable children; giving them love, shelter, nourishment and the education they needed. Today, BOC is a primary school and orphanage for over 90 vulnerable children. All this grew from the seed of one woman's love and selflessness.
Pastor Mary bakes cakes and makes jewellery which she sells in the local village of Limuru to financially support ALL of these children. There is no government funding, no financial support whatsoever. The Happy Africa foundation funds long lasting sustainable projects towards BOC, but Pastor Mary is struggling on a day to day basis trying to financially look after all these precious little souls with the cost of life. She has bills to pay, she needs firewood to cook and she needs food to feed the children. She needs money in her account incase one of the children need medical attention. There is no such thing as Medicare in Kenya and sadly everything does have a price on it.
I had a goal to raise $3000 in 3 months which would support all these beautiful souls for up to a year. I succeeded with the help of all my friends and family - It is beyond amazing!! I can’t believe how much everyone’s little donations have added up! I can’t thank you all enough, it means so much to me <3
I would like to reopen this campaign as I know sooner than later Pastor Mary will run out of these donations. My new goal is $5,000 so I am only $2,000 short.
All donations raised go directly to Paster Mary and she uses it where it is most needed. She has been keeping me updated via emails with monthly chart reads to where all the costs are going and that they are greatly appreciated. If you would like these updates forwarded to yourself I am more than happy to do so :)
If you would also like to talk to me about volunteering or have any questions you can email me on brittany.pratt@live.com
I think everyone should give volunteering a go, it is so good for the soul, you learn & grow so much from it. It taught me that if you have a roof over your head, food on your table and a healthy family you are a lot richer then you think. The people I met over in Kenya are hands down the richest people I know.
