Wambua is a typical example of one of the children benefitting from our feeding programme. This is how he turned up Turning Point, and how it's impacted his life:
Wambua is 8 years old and the fourth born out of six children. His father separated from the mother and in the process deserted his children. His mother does not work but has since remarried. Although the step father sometimes brings food home, occasionally he disappears for days at a time and the children are forced to go hungry. Wambua’s eldest sister dropped out of school and married. She never completed her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education. However, the second and third born children are both in school with Turning Point’s support and are benefitting from the school Feeding Programme. Wambua also receives regular meals at the Turning Point centre where he comes to attend our Prep classes. As well as playing football, Wambua likes learning with the other children at Turning Point Prep class and his favourite subject is Kiswahili. When he is older he would like to be a doctor. Turning Point’s Feeding Programme is vital for keeping children like Wambua fed, healthy and in class.
With your help, we are able to feed and support many more children like Wambua.
