Emily's Lemonade Stand
For the children of Kenya, Africa
Where does the money go?
All the money from Emily's Lemonade Stands goes to Seeds Ministry in Kitale, Kenya to help the people of the Kipsongo Slum. Seeds Ministry runs feeding programs, an orphanage, a school, small business training, medical treatment, evangelistic outreach, and more through their Bread of Life center.
The lemonade stand money goes specifically to raise $360,000 to build a new orphanage complex for the 260 orphans in the Kipsongo Slum. The orphanage will be built on 30 acres. There will be land for crops, dormitories for the orphans, a school, dining hall, a water bottling facility to provide income, and a lot more!
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 two and a half years ago to bring hope and help to the people of Kipsongo. They want to make life better for all the people there.
All Donations Help the People of Kipsongo!
