Hope Transforms: A Success Story
Resolving marital conflicts is a challenge for many parents in the Korogocho area. We have observed that many times when separation occurs, individuals remarry within a very short period of time which leaves the children hurting and with many unanswered questions.
This is what happened to *David’s family.
David is a grade six student at the KB center and he lives with his mother and sister. After his parents separated, the father went away with David’s older brother and left him behind. Although the father is still in communication with them, the separation really affected David negatively to the point where he would refuse to come to school.
He would give all manner of flimsy excuses for the absenteeism and when he came to school, he would not sit still in class. His grades were poor and most times he had incomplete homework. David’s mother was feeling very frustrated and even wanted to take him to boarding school to see if this would help to keep him in school.
We offered counseling sessions to David while the teachers continued to help him with his classwork. We also incorporated the parents and advised them not to let their differences hamper them from pulling together to raise their son. They were able to cooperate on this and even worked out a system where David gets to spend time with his father during the weekends.
With time, we have seen that the boy is slowly coming to terms with the situation at home. With the reassurance he now has from both parents and time spent with his father has given him a positive outlook towards life. David now comes to school every day and is working hard in his studies. He also appears more settled and is able to focus when he is in class.
We are so grateful to God for the positive changes we have seen in David. We are hopeful that the family will reunite so that the children can grow up in a more stable environment.
Please keep this family in your prayers.

We also have 60 grade six students who are set to sit for the first-ever national exam for grade six students in line with the new curriculum. Please keep these two classes in your prayers.
