*Gerald is a grade nine student at the Ndovoini center. He is the third born in a family of six children and they live with their parents within the Ndovoini community.

Gerald’s parents are both jobless and they depend on odd jobs to provide for their children. Without a reliable source of income, it is not easy to meet all the daily needs, and going without meals has been the norm for this family.

After Gerald sat for his grade eight national exams and passed, his parents could not afford to pay for him to join high school. Despite having passed his exams and having secured a slot in a government school, Gerald remained at home. This situation really stressed his parents who desired for their child to be in school.

We got to know about Gerald after our social worker met with his mother along the way as she conducted home visits. She engaged this woman who was looking so stressed and weighed down. Gerald’s mother opened up to the social worker and shared that she was discouraged and felt like giving up. They went to the home where our social worker had the chance to meet Gerald and have a talk with him. The discussion ended with an agreement that Gerald would join our school. This was a happy moment for both mother and the child and they praised the Lord together.

Gerald’s mother did not have any money, but the social worker encouraged her to put her trust in the Lord. The two came to school where the social worker informed the principal of the boy’s situation. Gerald’s mother was elated when it was confirmed that her boy would join the school and that he would receive everything he needed to join high school.

As we speak, Gerald is in class, pursuing his education, and enjoying being in class. We are grateful for partners like you who make it possible for us to reach out to children like Gerald and to be a blessing to his parents.

May God bless you!
