*Caleb and *Janet are one of the families we serve at our center. They have six children in our programs and they are part of God’s great doing in the community.

Our social workers met this couple in the community during home visits and learned that they both relied on casual jobs to fend for their family. As a result, the children were out of school for lack of school fees and at times, the family would go for days without food while paying rent was an uphill task.

We immediately recruited the six children and they started benefiting from the feeding program, quality education, and spiritual nourishment offered at MOHI. The social workers continued to meet with, encourage and pray for the couple and the two eventually gave their lives to Christ. They got plugged into a local church and Caleb now serves as a pastor, Janet is very involved in the women’s ministry and the children are all active in Sunday school ministry.

Janet is now doing laundry work while Caleb works as a caretaker. Through economic empowerment sessions with MOHI staff, the couple has embraced the aspect of saving. They are now able to pay rent and meet the family’s basic needs. They currently have one child pursuing a tertiary course, two children in high school, and the rest are still with us at the center. This family also relates well with other community members and they are a good role model for other families to emulate.

We thank God for the holistic transformation witnessed in this family.
