We provide monthly financial support to Kingdom Champions Children’s Centre & Academy. The Centre provides two meals a day, uniforms, books, classrooms and teachers to impoverished children who have nothing.
Eugene (pictured left) is a nine-year-old boy in grade 2. He walks quite a long distance to attend his classes. Eugene is also one of the HIV+ infected students who is receiving medication. He lives with his relatives as his parents unfortunately passed away due to AIDS. Eugene is very grateful for all the support he receives from the KCA family and loves the Lord with his whole heart.
Cynthia is an orphan on full scholarship at KCCCA. Her mother died of HIV/AIDs when she was 2 years old. Cynthia is now 9 years old and affected too. She is in grade three. She lives with her grandmother who is extremely poor and very old. She is among those who come without shoes, in tattered clothing, and very hungry. Cynthia now receives a good balanced diet, full school uniforms, and textbooks.
Vanessa is a new student at Kingdom Champions Academy. She missed a year of schooling due to lack of school fees. Her uncle took her in from his sister who is HIV positive and couldn’t provide for her basic needs. They were living in the Kawangware slum in Nairobi. Her uncle, who lives in Kisumu, visited our offices, and begged us to enroll Vanessa. Due to depression, stigmatization, and intense poverty, the mother couldn’t buy Vanessa’s school shoes, uniform, books, or school bag. Vanessa is grateful to receive an education and two meals each day.
We promote individual freedom and inner healing while speaking the Word of God with power and authority. We help participants respond to life and to God as the person God created them to be. What an amazing experience it is to see people walk free from curses, vows, judgments, ungodly beliefs, anger, bitterness, etc.
