Bright Hope- Feed Their Future

The Mathare Valley School Feeding Program in Kenya has enabled children living in the Mathare Valley Slum to have healthy, bright futures. Through a solid education and two warm meals every day, children on the program have steadily graduated to earn a degree and make a livable wage for themselves – thus breaking the cycle of poverty in their families.

The Mathare Valley School Feeding program is about more than food for today. It is about providing a child an opportunity for a new future. When a child is born into extreme poverty at an early age they are faced with a choice: Go to school or spend their days scavenging and begging for food. By offering them two meals a day while at school, they do not need to choose between their education and eating in any given day.

As we speak, the Mathare Valley School Feeding Program is looking at closing its doors if they cannot raise $7500 by March 15th. There are currently 1,400 children in the program who will no longer be able to get food and education and ultimately break the cycle of poverty if the program closes.

Help Feed Their Future and give them Hope – for Today, for Tomorrow, and for Eternity.

FOUR WAYS TO FEED THEIR FUTURE:
  1. Text BHOPE to 85944 to instantly give $10.*
  2. Make a donatation at www.brighthope.org/get_involved/feedtheirfuture.php
  3. Pray for sustainable funding for this feeding program, for an opportunity for these children to leave the Slum, and that God would provide all the funds needed to maintain this program and enable more children to have Hope for the future.
  4. Share Bright Hope's Facebook posts on your social media pages to get others involved.
