Imagine being a 70-year-old widow and suddenly you're responsible for providing food and shelter for your newly orphaned grandchildren. Things are tough already, but what do you do? Turn them away and let them fend for themselves out on the street? Government food programs don't exist. You're too old or weak to go out and work! Here at Olalo of Hope we deliver food packages every month with your help! Hunger hurts. You can help provide food packages to the most vulnerable- widows and orphans.
Elderly widows in Kenya often take on the responsibility of raising their orphaned grandkids who have no one else who can take them in and provide shelter and food for them. These are elderly women who can't just go out to work so they often resort to begging for food in the village or hoping neighbors might give them food. Too often they all sleep hungry. You can help change that with a donation today.
If we deliver a food package to a widow's family, it will sustain them for 4-5 weeks. If we don't have a fund set to cover food deliveries long term to that family, then after a month or so they end up at the same place they started--no food, empty tummies, no nutrition. This project once funded will ensure continual food deliveries month after month. It will provide nutrition, full tummies and a very great relief and blessing to elderly widows raising grandchildren in their old age.
This project impacts both the widows and the orphans they are raising. The children will get the nutrition they need to build stronger and healthier bodies. Kids won't be sitting in school listening to their tummies grumbling with hunger instead of focusing on learning. Their academics will improve. The elderly who already raised their families will receive the nutrients needed to stay healthy and strong to raise another generation of children without the constant worry of how to feed them.
