High Poverty level in Central Kenya(Kandara), but Hope Still Prevails

Hope, hope and more hope; this is what you see in the eyes of children and families that Johari foundation supports in amidst many challenge.Currently in Kenya, the families are facing very challenging times especially due to the fact that Global Oil price has increased replicating the same to all the commodities. Food prices have increased by almost 100% but despite this, when we visit and socialize with children and families, we find that some children are filled with happiness and joy, the children are hoping for the best a day at a time. As we do some home and school visit, we meet a child by the name Samuel Wanyoike who is11 years and schools at Githigi Primary School in central part of Kenya. The child live with her grandmother after his mother died and father abandoned the family. The Grandmother has a broken ankle but still, the hope of assisting Samuel to realize his full potential is clearly seen in her eyes as we discuss with her about her health status and family well being. The family living condition is pathetic but there is still, family love and cohesiveness. Johari foundation have been filling the gap by assisting the guardians and children by showing them love, giving them hope and providing for the basic needs for the children and the family.
