The Way You Can Help Kenyan Orphans

By Marcie Goodman


The number of children in Kenya living without parents today is more than the number of kids who lived without their mothers and fathers five years ago. Most Kenyan Orphans have gone through abuse, neglect and abandonment and some have definitely lost hope for the future. Most believers who have thought of taking part in helping these children always ask themselves how they can offer their support.

Before you decide to take part in this ideal mission, you must search your heart. You may need to offer prayers to God to help you know whether you can actually help or it is just a feeling within you. There are ways a believer can approach this matter and the ideas below can help you get started.

Pray to God about these children, that He would give them an ability to survive through the hard times. Most of them always go to sleep wondering if there is a place in this world where they belong. Pray to God, who knows the plans He has for His children, to offer them a forever long and kind family, the kind of family that will accept them and care for them.

Take time to learn the needs of children who have no parents. Clearly understand the resources and issues revolving around adoption and orphan care. It would be wise if you took time to study the word of God to find out what it actually says about those who are fatherless. Try to recognize the practical ways through which you can help to offer direct support.

You need to be a welcoming Christian, just as Jesus Himself was. Remember that God has opened his heart to helping the fatherless and He wants you and your home and church to do the same thing as well. It would be great if you created a climate in your home and church, which makes children without parents to feel welcome.

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.

Taking care of children who have no father and or mother is not cheap. However, your financial support to the family organization that offer support to help these children find hope can actually make the journey worthwhile. Give from your heart; make sure you have given from your heart and not with a second thought.

Always give words of encouragement to people who are helping to Kenyan Orphans. There are times when they may face crisis and fail to handle the children in the right way, but that does not mean that they will fail. Perhaps a word of encouragement is all they need to get going.
