Biography

Agnes is a friendly and hardworking young lady. Sadly she does not know her dad but has grown with her single mom. Her mom does not have enough education or connections to get a sustainable job and daily looks for work to support herself and her daughter. At times the pain of not knowing her Dad and struggling to survive is so deep but Agnes has determined to continue moving forward so the next generation will have a better chance. By God's grace and the help of well wishers, she is now in grade 10 at a good school. She needs a hand to hold in order to overcome the challenges she faces and become the woman God created her to be. Would you be that friend?

 

About Agnes's Home: Kitui

Kitui 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.
