Biography

Faith is a very committed and hard-working young woman. She is in 11th grade at a local senior school where she leads her class in academics. Faith is also a leader of the Christian movement among the students and has a very good relationship with her teachers because of her discipline and commitment. Sadly, Faith has not seen her dad for many years and her mom struggles to provide for four children on her own because of her lack of education and lack of adequate rainfall in the region. Given the chance, Faith has the potential to become a true servant of God who has an impact in her generation. Would you walk with her and help her overcome?

About Faith'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.
