Biography

Annastacia is a friendly and cute young girl. She is currently in grade one at her local primary school. While both of her parents are around, sadly, her dad is a drunkard, leaving her mom to take care of five children and her elderly mother on her own. She does not have enough education to get a stable job and depends on casual work in their village as well as farming in an area where rain is very unpredictable.  Because of this, Anna's mother struggles to keep food on the table let alone provide school fees and uniforms for her children. She believes with a hand to hold, Anni and the others can become men and women of substance who serve God in their generation. Would you be the one to walk with Anni? 

About Annastacia'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.
