Overview
Biography
Zipporah is a friendly and hardworking young woman. She is currently in grade 4 at Kakuma Primary School. She lives with her father and four siblings. Sadly, her Dad is blind and Zipporah's mother passed on several years ago so the family is completely dependent on their church family and well-wishers. With her work ethic and determination, we believe Zipporah has the potential to bring hope and change not only to her family but to the community around her. Would you be the one who helps her face the challenges around her and gives her the opportunity to become all God created her to be?
About Zipporah's Home: Turkana
Turkana County is a part of Northwestern Kenya located in the former Rift Valley province. Turkana is majorly arid and semi-arid, and the climate is very hot and dry making farming and supply of food a constant challenge. This county is also marginalized due to poor infrastructure. The main diet in these areas is not predictable since they rely majorly on relief food. The main language spoken is Turkana and the primary religion is traditional African beliefs. In recent years, both Christianity and Islam have also been competing for the hearts of the people here. *Because the people of Turkana county largely depend on livestock and relief food, they are still semi-nomadic and though the schools help create stability, there are still times when a family moves and we are unable to trace them.
