Biography

Lucy is a hardworking young woman. She is currently in 11th grade at a girl's school not far from home but education has been quite a challenge for her since her Dad passed away almost two years ago. We met her when we went to visit several other girls at her school and her mother upon seeing our vehicle pass through the local market ran to the school to beg for support for her daughter. That day, we were able first to pray with Lucy to receive Christ as her Savior and Lord then we prayed for the Lord to make a way for her to complete her education. Lucy's Mom was grateful even for a chance to share her story and is trusting God for a chance for her daughter to overcome the challenges she has faced and to become a woman of positive impact in her generation. Would you be the one to give Lucy the tangible love of God in her moment of need?

About Lucy'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.
