Biography

Lawrence is a friendly and hardworking young man. He is currently in 7th grade at the local primary school. Unfortunately, there are many days when Lawrence is not able to be at school due to being sent home for school fees. At home he lives with his parents and his two siblings. Due to lack of jobs in the community and lack of education, his parents are casual laborers and wake up each day to look for work with which they can support their family. Lawrence believes with a hand to hold, he will be able to finish his education and become the man God created him to be. Would you be the one to walk with him?

About Lawrence'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.
