Overview
Biography
Alex is a hard-working and determined young man. Sadly, his dad passed away when he was very young and soon after, his mom left Alex and his brother in the care of their elderly grandparents. It was a great struggle for them to know what to eat on a day to day basis much less thinking about education. Alex's mom came after a number of years and took him to live with her again but she has not been able to take care of him and he is back in the care of his grandmother (grandpa passed away in 2024). When Alex heard that we were in his home area for several days, he and his grandmother walked close to 7 miles just for the opportunity to talk to us and ask for support. Because he is well disciplined and hardworking, we believe that Alex can overcome the challenges he faces and become a man of God who brings positive change in his generation. Would you be willing to stand with him?

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.
