The Children Of Kenya Need Your Help

- Stuart Jhonstone

For 12-year-old Moses, the choice is a stark one and ultimately it could be the difference between life and death.

He can spend his days wandering the streets, searching for scrap metal, or discarded materials such as paper and plastic, in a bid to provide a meagre living for his family; or he can go to school, receive an education and fight starvation by eating the nutritious food supplied by charity Mary’s Meals.

Moses’s situation is by no means unusual.

In Kenya, poverty is rife and children often fall through the gaps, where they are expected to grow up and start earning from a very young age.

For this year’s Helping Hand Appeal, we are once again teaming up with school feeding charity Mary’s Meals – this time to raise money for impoverished children, like those living in Kenya, who live in conditions of incredible hardship.
