Littlewood Creek - Women and Children’s Shelter
For the past four years, my family and I have been visiting Kenya, and during this time, we have witnessed firsthand the vulnerability many people face.
We have seen children with no place to call home, and women fleeing domestic abuse with their children in tow.
Often, these mothers are forced to travel vast distances to return to family members for safety, making it almost impossible for their children to continue their education.
Without an education, life in Kenya becomes incredibly difficult. It is vital that mothers are given the chance to stay locally, in a safe and secure environment, until they can rebuild their lives and reintegrate into the community.
The plight of children living on the streets is heartbreaking. So many are left homeless, with no one to care for them. It is truly devastating to witness.
Throughout our visits, we’ve tried to help wherever we can – whether through eye hospitals, medical appointments, food parcels, beds and mattresses, rehoming, supporting small businesses, or even building homes. The list of ways we’ve tried to make a difference goes on. But one thing I have not yet been able to do is provide support to those who are desperately vulnerable and in urgent need of help.
This is why I want to create a shelter – a safe haven for those who find themselves homeless, unsupported, and without love or care.
I envision a place where women and children can feel safe, valued, and nurtured. A home they can be proud of, a place filled with love, where they can rebuild their lives and eventually stand on their own two feet, stronger and more resilient than ever before.
But I need your help to make this happen.
If you would like to support me and my family in bringing this vision to life, please consider making a donation. Even sharing this with your family, friends, and colleagues would make a world of difference.
Together, we can offer hope to those who need it most. Let’s give some of the Kenyan people the opportunity to feel hope again..
