A SOJOURNER'S HOME: Learning and Living the Journey of Faith


"Learning and Living the Journey of Faith"

It's more than a slogan...it's a commitment

EMMANUEL'S KENYA FUND:  Education is an essential part of development and insight. In many countries, it is also a matter of social justice. Emmanuel's Kenya Fund provides secondary education to the girls of Mercy Home Orphanage in Maseno, Kenya.

In Kenya, funded public education ends after 8th grade.  We are raising the money needed to send the orphans of Mercy Home to secondary school.

In 2008, 2009, and 2010 we have raised $5,000 annually which will send about 26 girls to secondary school or high school.

We are now raising funds for the 2012 school year with the hope of continuing to provide $5,000 to Mercy Home for secondary school fees.  

WE DID IT!!!  Thank you to all who helped to raise funds for 2012 school fees for Mercy Homes.


2011 KENYA SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE

Many young ladies graduated secondary school in the 2010 school year; some have moved on to higher education and others are still figuring out what they would like to do with their lives.  The 2011 secondary ladies are doing great with their studies so far.  They have explained to us that they fully appreciate this opportunity that has been given to them and are going to continue to study hard so they can see their graduation out of secondary school.

A recent secondary graduate of Mercy Homes has completed her diploma program in business management and has been accepted for a three year degree program in the same field.

We wish all of them well in their studies as they continue the 2011 school year.
