St. Paraskevi Street Children Rescue Center

APPEAL FOR SUPPORT, PRAYERS, AND GRATITUDE

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Christ is Risen!

With humility and hope, I reach out to you once again.

Our Street Children Feeding Programme is currently in serious need. Every week, vulnerable children depend on this initiative for their only reliable meal. Rising costs and limited resources have placed the programme under strain. I urgently appeal for your financial support to ensure that no child goes hungry.

We also ask for your prayers and support for our beloved Presvitera, who has been a pillar of strength in our mission. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy following a diagnosis of breast cancer. Her courage inspires us, yet this journey is heavy. Kindly remember her in your prayers, and pray that by God's providence, we may manage the added medical and mission responsibilities during this time.

Additionally, schools have reopened for the second term, and several of our sponsored pupils and students have outstanding fee balances. Without timely payment, some risk being sent home. I humbly appeal for assistance to clear these arrears and keep these children in school.

Our Kindergarten building also requires repainting and refurbishment. A simple facelift will greatly improve the learning environment and restore dignity to the space where our youngest children grow and learn.

To all our supporters and well-wishers: thank you. Your generosity has sustained this mission for years. You have fed the hungry, educated the poor, and strengthened our hands in service. I remain deeply grateful and pray that the Lord rewards you abundantly.

May God bless you for every act of love shown to His little ones.

With gratitude and hope,

When you give to the poor, you lend to God. Does this mean no tribulations for us, no! They are still there, more so when we are close to God, Satan tries us the most.
Last evening, while giving food to the street families and children, the rains came and there was a scuffle, I ended up twisting my ankle. It is so painful I have to get a brace tomorrow.
These are the challenges of mission work. But we don't give up. We don't loose hope. We forge on serving God and humanity.

Schools reopen for 3rd term on 26 August 2025.

Beloved friends and followers, well wishes and supporters of our mission, I kindly appeal for some help for 3rd term school fees. I have a huge burden owing to the deteriorating economic situation here and elsewhere. Many parents who could chip in something are actually hoping that my mission can also supply some food to them and as such, the school fees burden increases.
Situation was worsened because the little government capitation to schools which reduced the fee burden has been reduced further, exposing parents and guardians to a higher budget.

I could only select 4 student most needy.
Together they need 50,900kes
Our kindergarten
Needs stationery. 12,350kes
And water supply. 8,000kes

In total my budget =71,250kes

This, beloved friends, is not inclusive of the street mission which remains at the center of my heart, because it is pure philanthropy to the most destitute.

All help is welcome.
