Spotlight- Bishop Fred and Pastor Alice

One of our partnerships deserves some special attention today!! Bishop Fred and Pastor Alice are a power couple! They love the work they do and do it every day with utter and complete joy! They have two schools that they run and work hard to empower all their students to reach for the stars- especially through music!

Bishop Fred states the following in regards to his experience with Malaria (since we've been discussing the importance of nets on social networks)  " It is believed malaria is one of the last three major epidemic diseases, killing well over a million people a year. 
Malaria is the main cause of death for children under 5 years in most parts of Kenya. In pregnant women, malaria causes anaemia, low birth weight, miscarriage and even maternal death. It is estimated that 10 to 20 per cent of maternal deaths are attributed to malaria.
Use of mosquito is being encouraged against mosquito bites, and have been shown to give substantial protection against malaria. When our children at the orphanage were not using these mosquito nets were treated for malaria from time to time but since we introduced the net, malaria is much minimized"

Not only do they help their students develop mind, soul, and heart throughout the school age years they have recently initiated efforts for a vocational school to help those graduating find work - allowing for the ability to support themselves after school. Empowerment has always been a cornerstone in their educational program. Here are some students learning hair styling techniques at the salon school!

 

Asante Sana to our partners for helping to share our mission of Little Hands Making Big Differences - especially through education and empowerment.
