We should count our blessings everyday. We live in a country where we can take our children in to a doctor, the neighborhood Centra Care or the hospital at a moments notice. Here, we run to the doctor if our child gets a bad case of the "sniffles." Let alone if he may have a abnormally protruding tummy like the little man in this picture. World Hope provides medical attention for the people of Kawangware slum who don't have so much as a fraction of the luxuries we have here. Your help is his help. Thank you for your continued support through Praying, Giving and Going. 

Here in Kawangware, a man sits outside his shoe store hoping for a sale. The truth is that he may sell one pair of shoes today. One sale of a used pair of shoes would mean he would take in about $2.00 profit for the day. This is what most people bring in on a day's work in the slums of Kawangware. These conditions are what inspires us to help by find and create ways to help them sustain themselves. Be it through micro-businesses, letting the locals sell bracelets and trinkets to our groups, or finding ways for them to be able to help at Hope Center. This is life in Kawagware slum.

If you're like us, you believe that every child deserves the opportunity to get an education. An opportunity that isn't based on when or where the child was born but on the fact that education is the key to life without extreme poverty. To learn to read, write, and even speak is an essential part of life. In impoverished areas of the world, without this most basic of education, a child is born into and will probably never get out of a life of indigence and abject poverty. World Hope, with your support, is here to change that.

There are so many children in the slum who need our help. That need your help. Please help us expand our Hope Academy so that we can take in more children off the streets. For just the cost of a large pizza a month, $10, you can help us "push back the slum." Join 2500Strong.org.

This picture shows children from Kawangware slum who have the chance to come to Hope Academy and receive an education. There is a wall that separates the school from the rest of the slum but the truth is, its the lack of resources that really separates them. There are so many children who wander the slum each day in search of food, water and money. Chances are they will never have the opportunity to get an education that could be the difference between them ever being able to get out of the slum or not. In Kenya, only two in five children will ever attend school. Only three in every 50 men will complete the sixth grade. 

Friends, fans, family and partners, we have much work to do. Help us change these statistics by becoming a part of 2500strong.org. Today you can do your part to change someone's life.
