The top picture with the red arrow 🛑⬇️ shows what most children in Turkana, Kenya unfortunately have to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once the little bit of fruit inside is gone, they chew on it throughout the day to help take their hunger pains away. It’s called a “palm nut” and it is as hard as a baseball. ⚾️ The other pictures show what $19/month provides through our #schoolfeeding program in this region ➡️ a hot, nourishing meal every school day. 🍛 #SchoolMeals are a GAME CHANGER for these boys and girls. When there are meals at school… there are children at school… healthy, safe, learning and flourishing. 📚🍛 = 💪🧠 #MaishaProject #MoreThanAMeal #MaishaMeansLife #EndHunger #Turkana #Kenya #Food #Hope #HungerCrisis

#WomensHistoryMonth is almost over. But unfortunately, serious issues such as poverty and malnutrition still threaten the lives and futures of so many girls and women. It’s hard to imagine, but there are about 1.2 billion girls and women in the world suffering from inadequate nutrition right now. Poor nutrition hampers girls’ and women’s ability to learn, earn and thrive — thus perpetuating the cycle of undernutrition, deprivation and poverty. We can’t help them all. But with your help, we CAN — and we ARE — making a huge impact in the areas of Kenya where God has called us to serve: Kisumu, Nyalenda, and Turkana. Together, we can change this corner of the world — one child, one family at a time —through food, education, healthcare, clean water, empowerment and love. 🤍 #MaishaMeansLife

Think of the poorest school you have ever seen in America — then times it by 1,000 — and you’ll start to get an idea of how severely our partner school in Turkana, Kenya struggles. When a school can’t even afford to feed its students… it won’t be able to afford other educational essentials either — like plates, utensils, uniforms, school and classroom supplies, etc., etc. With your help, we have instituted a #schoolfeeding program there, and have provided many other necessities since 2019. But as is the case with ANY school, children’s needs are ongoing. Our students at Lobolo Primary School currently need plates and uniforms. DESPERATELY!! Take a look… To donate towards: 🍽️ 350 plates 👚👕 A school uniform for a child Go to: 🔗 https://www.maishaproject.org/where-most-needed-donation-form/ #SchoolMeals #MoreThanAMeal #EndHunger #HungerCrisis #Hunger #MaishaProject #MaishaMeansLife #Hope #Kenya #Food

Good morning, and Happy #palmsunday🌿 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” —Romans 15:13 🖤

💦 Clean water is the gift that keeps on giving—bringing time, health, and opportunities to entire communities. It also brings joy and a sigh of relief —knowing that one of life’s most basic needs has finally been met. When children have clean water, it keeps them healthy, helps reverse cycles of poverty, and creates new opportunities. THANK YOU for your partnership that is also helping us provide #cleanwater to our hundreds of students at Maisha Academy, and to our partner school and community in #Turkana. #WorldWaterDay #WWD2024 #WaterDay #MaishaProject #MaishaMeansLife

Did you know that our approach to poverty is different? ⬇️ We address the root causes of poverty at a local level. We don’t just put a bandaid on the symptoms. The underlying causes of poverty, injustice, and marginalization are complex and often interconnected. That’s why our programs emphasize not only nutrition—but also education, empowerment, and partnering with local communities and leaders to create comprehensive solutions that endure.💪🏼✨ When you join us, you’re supporting this effort to build stronger communities in Kenya so that children and families can thrive as God intended. And make a lasting impact on generations to come.🇰🇪❤️ #MaishProject #MaishaMeansLife #EndPovertyTogether #EndHunger #PovertyAwareness #Education #ChildSponsorship #schoolfeeding
