Emily's Lemonade Stand
For the children of Kenya, Africa
Why are you helping people in Kenya?
My story:
Missionaries from Seeds Ministry in Kitale, Kenya came to my church and told us about the people of the Kipsongo Slum. The people there live in huts made from trash and they have no electricity or running water. There are more than 200 orphans living in the slum.
I couldn't believe it! My heart felt so broken. I live in a house with my dad, mom and brother. I have plenty of food and water. I can go to the doctor when I'm sick. I wanted to do something to help make life better for the people in Kipsongo, so I opened the lemonade stand!
I think we all have a special mission in life! I hope you'll join me in my mission to make the world a better place one glass of lemonade and one dollar at a time!
About the Kipsongo Slum
Thirty-eight years ago the Turkana and Pokot Tribes from Northern Kenya, seeking refuge from drought, famine and tribal clashes, came to Kitale for a better life. Instead of a better life, the refugees only found rejection. Having no other place to go, they settled in Kitale in what is now called the Kipsongo Slum. Translated it means "Place of the Dogs". More than 2,500 people live on 6 acres in huts made from garbage.
There is no electricity or running water in the slum. Mothers take their children to dig in the dump to find food to eat. There are terrible diseases with no medical treatment. There are 360 children in the slum and 260 of them are orphans.
Seeds Ministry began three years ago to provide food, medical care, education, job training, and God's love for the people of Kipsongo.
Land for the new orphanage!
