The Kipsongo Slum
The Kipsong Slum houses one of the most outcast groups in Kenya; a group of men, women, and children numbering approximately 2,500. The community covers about six and one-half acres. There is no electricity or water source within the slum. Jesus has asked in Matthew 25:34-40 that we provide food, drink, clothes, and shelter for those in need. It is the desire of our heart to fulfill God's will to meet such needs. We want the men, women, and children to know in the midst of our support how much they are loved by God and by us.
