Asman shows us his portion of their home. This is nearly all of his belongings as well.
In Kenya, heavy rains are a trigger to cold nights, wet mornings and diseases. Therefore, our team made the first phase of home visits immediately after the onset of the rainy season to the homes of a section of our sponsored children.
The children visited were in perfect health and in their own way, productive around their homes. They were either doing household chores, looking after livestock or carrying out other farm tasks. However, the most dominant heartbreaking scenario was how they spend their cold nights on rugged mats and with very little to cover themselves.
Behind their gallant smiles, the need for mattresses and blankets was glaring, especially now that the rains have been projected to last for months across the country. With the rains comes various diseases thus, the urgent remedy for most of them is a warm bedding.
