God works in
amazing ways
God works in amazing ways! On a flight from Frankfurt to Nairobi, Chaplain Wanji sat next to a Kenyan Pastor who was coming home from a mission in New York. As they talked and got to know each other, he promised to include New Hope School to receive donated food.
daily Meal
As our school grows so is the food need. We now have 80 children. Thanks be to God! The donated packaged grains’ mix from Nairobi Ridgeways Baptist Church helps us to feed the children at least one meal a day. We are taking advantage of the rainy season to grow our own school food (collard greens, beans and maize) to alternate the meals. We need your help with buying food cooking oil, sugar, etc.

Most children in this remote region of Gitombo have little opportunity for schooling. On average, only 30 percent of children complete primary school
