Biography

Blessings is a friendly and joyful young girl. She stays with both of her parents. She has no siblings. Due to a lack of education and a lack of casual labor jobs available in the community, her parents are not employed, and unpredictable rainfall keeps them from raising enough food for the family. Her parents’ income is too little to sustain them and their education. Generally, the family has been struggling financially. Blessings is currently in 3 at a local Primary School. She is doing her best to finish her education in order to serve her family and community. Pray with us for her.

About Blessings's Home: Makueni

Makueni County is a part of Southeastern Kenya generally known as Ukambani. The climate is usually hot and dry making farming a challenge and food supplies short. The main diet in these areas is corn products, beans, some fruits and green vegetables such as kale when the weather permits. The main language spoken is Kikamba and the primary religion is Christianity though there is still much traditional superstition and a recent influx of Islam.
