Like many young men in Kenya who

have finished college, David was

facing an uncertain future with near

zero prospects for employment or

advancement.

Despite being a top student in college

and having been admitted to Medical

school in Nairobi University, David was

frustrated, disillusioned and

distraught as he could not afford

medical school.

David is from a very poor family. His

hope has been that education would

lead to a brighter future for himself,

his family and community.. and yet it

seemed all his years as a diligent

student were coming to a halt.

David’s first Semester in Medical School

Five participants from the medical

mission including Dr. Metrovelli, Dr. Mills,

Dr. Kaplan, Lisa Mack and Sharon Klan

have pledged to help David. He received

a stethoscope from Lisa and a white coat

from Dr. Kaplan.

David is now a fulltime medical student

at Nairobi University with his tuition,

books and housing fully paid for his first

semester.

JNN appreciates the donors who gave

graciously to make David’s dream come

true. Your compassion to make a

difference goes a long way to improve his

quality of life and potentially change his

future.

Elizabeth Ampezia is 23yrs

I am the oldest girl in Motherly Care

Children's Home (MCCH). I lost both

parents at an early age. I was raised by

my grandmother who convinced me

that I was her last born daughter.

After my grandmother died I became

destitute and lived on the streets. I

survived the mean streets, eating and

sleeping under dust bins. After some

time, I learnt to work for money or

food by doing house chores.

It was challenging when some people

refused to pay me or instead they

abused me.

JNN SUPPORTS EDUCATION

Social Workers rescued me from the

streets and brought me to MCCH. I

attended school and successfully

completed high school.

However, I was not able to attend

college and pursue my dream to

become a nurse. By God’s grace JNN

Foundation agreed to sponsor my

education at Kendu Bay Adventist

College, where I’m now pursuing a

Nursing degree.

I believe that because of my life

experiences, I can testify that God

answers prayers. I have so much hope

for a bright future now that I’m

preparing to graduate in 2015.

My name is Emmaculate Mueni.I was born and raised in the streets of

Nairobi. As a child, my life was

extremely challenging. I lost both

parents when I was an infant. Living on

the streets came with a lot of abuse

especially from street boys.

When I was about ten years old, a

stranger said to me that I was not an

accident, and that God had a plan for

me. I decided to visit a church to find

out how God could help me.

It was my lucky day!! Mrs. Mary stopped

to talk to me and soon she invited me to

go home with her. I've been at MCCH

ever since. I’ve found much peace and

love at the home. I truly believe that

God has a plan for me.

JNN SUPPORTS EDUCATION

I still struggle to forget the bitter past

but I’m learning to let go and focus on

becoming the person God is leading me to

be. My goal is to help others know that

God has a plan for them despite

their circumstances.

I believe education is the key to freedom.

I’m excited that JNN is finding a sponsor

for me to help further my education. I

hope to one day attend college and

pursue a degree in teaching or social

work.

I'm grateful for the JNN Foundation

taking the step of faith towards my

future. I thank God for rescuing me and

surrounding me with a loving family to

call my own.

Cecilia Wangoi - 17yrs

I’m a second child in a family of four.

Growing up I remember my mother

was always sick, usually spending

long periods away at the hospital.

After my mom died, my brother and

sisters were sent to live in different

homes.

I ran away from the family I was

staying with and ended up living on

the streets.

One day I became extremely ill and a

good Samaritan took me to Mother

Teresa Children’s home where I was

admitted for treatment.

JNN SUPPORTS EDUCATION

Upon discharge from the facility, I

was transferred to the MCCH where

I’ve lived since.

I recently successfully completed high

school and I’m hoping to attend

medical school to pursue my dream

of becoming a surgeon.

I’ve always admired the medical

professionals who help the sick. I

hope to one day become a doctor so I

can also help the sick.

I know that anything is possible when

you believe. I thank the JNN

Foundation for believing in me and

supporting me.

My name is Ann Wanjango - 18years

I was very young when my mother

died . My father took me to stay with

my uncle, who died shortly after. My

father took me to an orphanage in

Nairobi where I stayed for some

time.

When my father remarried, he

brought me back home to stay with

him and my new step mother.

After some time, life became quite

miserable from the beatings I

received daily from both of them. I

finally ran away from home.

JNN SUPPORTS EDUCATION

After living on the streets for some

time, my father found me. He severely

beat me until strangers intervened, and

as a result, he ended up in jail. My

stepmother wanted nothing to do with

me.

I was later rescued from the streets and

taken to Mama Ngina Children’s Home

and soon after transferred to MCCH.

Coming to MCCH was the greatest

blessing of my life. I recently completed

my high school with great scores. My

dream is to study communication in

college; I hope to one day travel the

world as a journalist.

IMMACULATE ATIENO 21YEARS

I’m the second born in a family of

five. My mother passed away when I

was 2 ars old. I was raised by my

father and my step mother.

In 2003, my dad passed away. Soon

after, my step mother passed away as

well. We were left under the care of

our grandmother, but the burden

became cumbersome for her, as she

was unable to provide for us even

basic needs.

Our lives changed for the worse. My

siblings and I were split up and sent

to live with different families.

JNN SUPPORTS EDUCATION

By the grace of God, I was brought to

the MCCH after moving from home to

home. I’ve been so blessed to find a

home and kind people who care for

me.

In 2010, I successfully completed high

school but I was unable to proceed to

college due to financial reasons.

In 2012, the JNN Foundation was

visiting MCCH when they learned

about my situation.

I could not believe it when they

accepted to sponsor me to Kenyatta

University. I’m now pursuing my

second year in Early Childhood

Education. I’m so grateful to God.

PHELEN JUDY ANYANGO - 26YEARS

I was 13 years old when both my

parents died. I was then taken for a

wife in an arranged marriage. I soon

ran away, but by God’s grace I was

rescued and brought to the MCCH.

I’m the oldest at MCCH, and I’ve

naturally become a caretaker to the

younger ones. Before my mother

died, I took care of her for months

until she passed away. I enjoy

supporting others in need.

I admire nursing. My dream is to

become a nurse someday, so I serve

those in need.

For eight years, I’ve been unable to

afford college, or get a sponsor. My

dream has yet to become a reality.

In 2007, I successfully completed

high school and scored excellent

grades. I received college admission

but I have been unable to begin y

studies due to lack of funds.

I have since devoted myself to look

after the younger children here at

MCCH until God opens a way for me

to pursue my dream.

I pray for JNN to be successful in

getting me a sponsor this year.

My name is Isaiah Nyaata. I was born in Kisii, Kenya on

25th December 1972. I was born in a polygamous family, my

mother was the 1st wife and she had ten children. After my

father died, it was a great challenge for my mother to educate

and provide for us.

My mum worked odd jobs to keep food on the table. While

working at a tea estate, she became very sick and finally

became unable to work. Consequently I dropped out of school

for lack of tuition. However, by the grace of God, the principle

of my school learnt of my predicament and decided to pay

tuition for my final two years of high school.

After successfully completing high school, my future hopes of

attending college were once again crushed after getting

admitted to two of my favorite colleges, but quickly realizing I

could not afford the tuition.

After sometime, I became very sick, and narrowly escaping

death. After a long recovery, I was convinced that God had

plans for my future. I was inspired to get a job at the tea

factory where my mother had worked. I determined to work

and raise enough money to attend college. After two years of

working, my health problems persisted and I was unable to

work.

I decided to get married and I was hoping my new found love

would change my life for the better. However, married life

increased my financial burden, when my wife Grace and I we

blessed with 2 boys Samuel and Victor.

In 2005, a former teacher who knew my challenges &

aspirations was moved with compassion to sponsor me to

attend the Bugema University teachers training program. I was

thrilled for the opportunity, but unfortunately after a year, my

sponsor died suddenly from a heart attack, and I was forced to

drop out of college.

My wife and I decided to try out business in farming. We

leased land and planted vegetables and tomatoes. The

harvest was great and the demand for the crops was

profitable. After sometime we experienced a setback when

a group of thieves robed us of the harvested crops and

goods from our farm leaving our business crumpling.

This was a tragedy we were not prepared to deal with, and

it consequently collapsed our business. At the church camp

meeting in 2007, I met Elder Mogaka who after

conversation offered me to volunteer to tech classes at

MCCH.

I accepted the offer as I had some teaching skills from the

one year at Bugema University, Uganda. I have, since then

worked at Motherly Care Children’s Home as a volunteer

teacher.

In 2013, the JNN Foundation visited MCCH. I was moved to

share my ambition to complete a teachers training degree.

Through God’s Amazing Grace, on September 2013 the JNN

Foundation accepted to sponsor me for my further

education to Kamwenja Teachers Training College. My joy is

beyond words can express, and I’m so grateful.

I truly appreciate the JNN Foundation for the efforts its

making to the help the less fortunate gain education. I’m a

great example of how potential lives can be are wasted

without support. The knowledge and experience I gain as I

learn now will be imparted to the younger people for a

better society.

It is my prayer that God will continue to empower the JNN

Foundation to support many others so that his name will be

praised and glorified.

Please consider sending a donation to the JNN Foundation

and help sustain this efforts so that others like myself may

see the light at the end of the tunnel.

GOD BLESS THE JNN FOUNDATION!
