The Give Amore Team in Kenya, June 2018
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. ”
2018 was AMAZING! I can’t believe that as we embark wrap up our 4th year with Give Amore all that God has done in this short time. And as I’ve said before and will continue to say-I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A FRONT ROW SEAT TO IT ALL! If you are reading this, you are very likely a supporter of our missions and we absolutely could not do what we do without the generous giving from others. I’ve been blown away to watch this little vision God gave me years ago grow into what it is and He’s only just getting started! Read on for a glimpse into SOME of the highlights of the year that were made possible because you listened to the tug on your heart to join us…
6 Clean Water Wells
13 children added to our sponsorship program
9 Made with Amore Sewing School Graduates
3 Jigger Treatment and Prevention Clinics each helping 200 people
Added 2 more full-time staff in Kenya
5 of us went to Kenya in June
Over 300 Made with Amore tote bags sold
15 computer school graduates
Over 150 Donors supporting Give Amore
So many various ways we’ve helped in Kenya, I’ll mention a few:
Paid for a few students who had extreme circumstances and were no longer in school so we caught up their school fees
Opportunity for Brian who has 5th grade education and is 18. We are teaching him to read and he’s in our sewing program
Maurice, a man who was beyond debilitated by jiggers was treated, his home fumigated, he received food, blankets, clothing and a bible
Mama Ruth’s surgery was paid for. She also had a new roof put on her home, her grandchildren received clothing, food, mattresses, blankets and more
Jennifer, mother to Fednand, Joseph and Brian, received an addition to her home and all the home makeover goodies to go inside!
Cows, chickens, goats and more given to various families
Dozens upon dozens of scalps were treated for fungal infections
Painted classroom chalkboards
Supplies for midwives
Dozens of children were de-wormed
Children treated for malaria
AND SO MUCH MORE!
Thank you again for all you’ve done and all those you’ve blessed through your giving, your sharing, your Made with Amore purchases and, most importantly, your prayers!
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2019! God is in the business of miracles!
