How You Can Support Kenyan Orphans

By Marcie Goodman


The number of children who have no mothers and fathers in Kenya currently is more than the actual figure about five year back. A large number of Kenyan Orphans are neglected, abused and abandoned and this is actually something that has made most of them lose hope for the future. The question that most believers are seeking answers to is not whether to help these children but how to do exactly that.

If you are wondering how you can give your support to these hopeless young ones, this article will help you understand how. This is a kind of a volunteering ministry, which only few take part and you should therefore be having a heart to offer support before you can get into it. Below are several ideas that can help you help families and churches that are taking care of these children to transform their lives completely.

Always pray for children in foster homes remembering that they will go to bed and wake up the following day without knowing where they belong. You should ask God to meet them at the point of their needs and provide them with a family they can rely on for the rest of their lives. Ask God to place these children in the hands of the right families, families that can love and take good care of them.

There is a lot you will need to learn about the relationship between God and the children who are fatherless. Take a moment to read the word of God to learn what God says concerning the fatherless and the plans that He has for humankind. Remember to ask God to help you know how can contribute in relating and helping children who have no fathers and mothers.

Ask your family members what they think about giving contribution to organizations that help children who have no fathers or mothers. They will most likely be for the idea and you can agree to give contributions occasionally to non-profiting organizations that take care of these children. Pray to God, however, to lead you to selecting the right organizations.

Adopting and fostering a child has many challenges. There are times when the foster family will find it difficult to understand the needs of the children they are taking care of and the children may at times not feel welcome and loved. Take time to encourage the fostering family not to give up on these children but instead take time to understand them, know their needs and show them love and affection.

If you are going to adopt a child, make sure you ask for directions from God. It is not easy to take in a child in your home if you are not sure you are going to take care of them. Even if you are still sure you can, pray about it.

Supporting Kenyan Orphans is one way to help raise the leaders of tomorrow. At least this is a big reason to help raise these children in a good way. Always pray to God to give strength to those people helping to take care of these children.
