Biography

Ruth is a committed and hardworking student at Local Girls’ High School. She is one of the leaders in the Christian Union and loves the Lord. At home, she lives with her parents and three siblings. Her parents do not have enough education to get steady jobs and struggle to make ends meet by farming in an area where rainfall is very sparse. Ruth is an above-average student and believes that with the help of a friend, she can finish her education well and become a woman of God who gives back to her family and society, breaking a cycle of poverty that has plagued them for many generations. Would you be the one to walk with her?

About Ruth'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.
