Foundation feeds and clothes urchins in Bungoma
Over Seventy street urchins in Bungoma town and Webuye benefited from a sumptuous food and T shirts courtesy of a foundation.
The Foundation donated T shirts, five sacks of maize and two sacks of beans to the children through a church that hosts them in Sikata market in the outskirts of Bungoma town and Webuye.
Speaking in Webuye after attending a church service at the Restoration of hope ministry International where they were also served delicious food, the foundation director Moses Wamoto said that they will continue to partner with the church in ensuring that all the urchins are rehabilitated and are out of the streets.
“We know that the street life is tough for these children and that is why as a foundation we are working towards making sure that their life is changed completely for the better, we don’t want to see our brothers suffering in the cold,” said Wamoto.
He said that they are currently looking for land which they can purchase and make sure that all the children are accommodated in it to rid the street of Chokoras.
The foundation Chief Executive Officer Joseph Waswa said that his organization will continue to serve the need community members to stop them from more suffering.
“I was touched by the lives of this friends and decided that the small I have I will share with the poor people in the community, they are the reason why I have succeeded in life, am challenging other organizations to partner with me so that we are able to assist the less fortunate people in the society,” said Waswa.
Pastor Joseph Mukolwe of the Restoration of hope ministry international church said that his church which is partnering with the foundation and friends from Australia has accommodated 30 boys who were former Chokoras and is educating them give them the true meaning of life so that they can live like any other person in the society.
“Three boys are now class eight candidates and we are happy that they have forgotten all about their street life, what we lack is enough hostels to accommodate them so that we can take in the remaining 40 boys who are still roaming in the streets of several towns in this county,” he said.
Mukolwe called on the legislatures to pass the bill in parliament that will allow street children above 18 years to get Identification Cards and those still young to access birth certificates with much ease so that they can be registered for national examinations.
