Miller* is a grade one pupil, he is 10-years-old and comes from the neighboring community. Miller joined our school during the feeding program we set up before Namarei center was officially opened on January 4th, 2021.

Miller’s parents are not financially stable so they are not able to adequately provide for his needs. At one point, the school became the only place where he was guaranteed a meal. Apart from these challenges, his parents were also in conflict and this had affected this young boy such that he was constantly absent from school.  

Our social worker made constant follow-ups of the boy to encourage and offer him hope of a brighter future. Through sharing, one of our parents offered to buy Miller a school uniform and this became a transformational tool for him. He never missed school again and his grades improved greatly. During the kindergarten graduation, Miller received an award for being the most transformed pupil.

We have great hopes for Miller and his entire family. We know that as we continue to share the love and hope that Christ gives, they will experience genuine transformation in their lives. Please keep Miller and his family in your prayers.

• Our most pressing need is for funds to do the following:
