Welcome again to our FCM Project Update

• Mattresses, pillows and bedding was donated for the Stev-In Boarding House which accommodates 20 children from troubled backgrounds, providing them with a safe environment to live and learn in.

• The Mombasa Olives Rehabilitation Center received another shipment of Food Aid for the School Lunches of the 300 children who benefit from this ongoing Program.
• Together with a couple who visited Kenya from abroad, we spent a day with orphans from the New Hope Orphanage, which Family Care Missions is sponsoring since 1998. A variety of needs for the children and Food Stuffs were donated during the visit.
• This month´s “Care Packages“ went to help the elderly of the Uplands Grandma Village, where the old women take care of orphans left behind by family members due to HIV/Aids.
• Also Single-Parent-Households of the Gichagi Community profited from the 100 Care Packages that were distributed and received with great joy.

LOOKING AHEAD

Please join us in our new initiative of Health and Hygiene Campaigns for poor communities. In an effort to prevent sickness, we will organize group meetings with mothers to educate and provide Hygiene Packages containing items such as soap, disinfectant for wounds, bandaids, antifungal cream for ring worms, toothbrushes, multivitamins, sanitary napkins, condoms and toilet paper, plus a flyer with simple First Aid tips. Your donation towards this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
